level 2

Intro I am sharing my progress on a mostly 3D-printed rocket design I started in March of this year. I started the design after losing my first level 2 attempt to the field. The overall goal of this project is to use this for my level 2 flight eventually, and possibly a 2-stage flight in the...

I'm currently gearing up to build my L2 around a CTI K1200WT, currently simming around 11k and Mach 1.25. Realistically, I'm going to fly it on a J140 or something low and slow first so I can actually get certified, but afterward I'd send it on the big boy. I could buy a fresh K1200, but one of...

I kind of live by the idea of sending it way too hard and hoping it works out, so I figured I'd go for my L1 as my first rocket and first flight, with an I500. The rocket is all 54mm cardboard LOC tube and a plastic nosecone. It'll be carrying an Eggtimer Quantum and an Eggtimer TX. I'm gonna...

I am going to build a Wildman Jr for my level 2. I know, I know, there are a ton of build threads for these but since its for a certification I thought I would park my process; document techniques, ask for help, absorb any advice, here. I bought this 2.1" kit, a 2.1" WM Eagle Claw Sport and a...

I recently got my L1 HPR cert and I’m looking to build a L2 this summer. I am looking for a fiberglass kit that is dual deploy capable. Preferably 4” in diameter or close to that. I would like to have plenty of room on the inside for avionics and recovery stuff. A friend built an L2 that was...

Got my L2 over the weekend with Tripoli North Texas! Great time launching and meeting folks. Here’s video of the flight: Flight details in the video description.

Following up on my last build of the 4" Blackfly from Mike, I've just started a 6" Build. I'm building this with a no-expense-spared attitude, and my aim is to methodically hone in my build skills, and at the end, have a durable airframe I can fly lots... Well, that is the plan! Let's see how it...

Hey guys Getting ready to start building and putting together my level 2 HPR certification rocket. Doing it on a Public Missles Endeavor kit with a K160 motor. Will be injecting epoxy for those internal fin fillets and adding a extra centering ring cause the K motor is pushing it. Planning to...

I am starting the design of a level 2 rocket build with a friend who wants to help stuff it full of arduino-run LED's and EL wire for a fun night launch to be filmed with high speed film. Does anyone have experience with acrylic versus polycarbonate clear body tube builds? Or do you have a...

Hey all, this is my first post since I couldn't find anything recent / in my price range while looking around. I am in going into college next year (for Aerospace Engineering :) ) so I need to keep the cost down. I want to build the rocket from scratch so I can use it for resumes, so I just...

The purpose of this thread is to document the building of a LOC Precision AMRAAM AIM 120C kit for my Level Two High Power Certification. There does not seem to be a build thread of this rocket already on the forum; I hope to fill that knowledge gap. All input/tips/tricks regarding this build are...

Hey all! This may be explained elsewhere, but I'm having a hard time finding reliable information about taking the NAR Level 2 exam. I received my Level 1 in March and decided it was time to go for my Level 2. I have the rocket, motor, and a launch date picked out. The only thing left is the...

I got my LVL 1 cert with my LOC IV, amazing launch ran the H135 and had an amazing launch. I do not have an electronics bay nor to I have a drogue shoot (which I really think is necessary for lvl 2 cert) the rocket is fully assembled, is there any way to modify this beautiful rocket to hit my...

I was wondering if anyone could give me any advice on this. I've been flying a LOC/Precision IV for a bit now and I love the rocket. However, I think I'm ready to move on to my level 2 certification, but I also don't want to spend $300 on a kit. Right now I am planning on copying the LOC IV kit...

I'm often asked how to build these fiberglass rocket kits that come with just the fiberglass parts and no instructions. So I decided to do a video tutorial on how I build them. This kit is a 3" Bomb Pop purchased from Chris' Rocket Supply. This rocket build is suitable for an advanced Level 1 or...
