Goblins are no stranger to this community but I wanted to do a little build post on this one.
First I'd like to give props to Loc for a really nice kit. Most everything is included, although I'll be subbing in a few misc items. The kit came well boxed, and all pieces included look to be of high quality.
My plans are to use this rocket for my level 1 certification flight. It will be using basic motor ejection. I decided to go with an I297SM for a couple reasons. First, using this motor I can take advantage of the CTI cert offer and get a 5 grain case free. Second reason is because skid mark engines are just plain cool. It sims in open rocket to about 1500ft with a good launch rail velocity and around an 8.5:1 thrust to weight ratio. I considered using a JLCR but I may leave that out to keep things as simple as possible.
