I have some questions about the NAR and tripoli regulations regarding a lvl 2 rocket. in the statement below, what does it mean as "flyer"? is that individual or a team?
The rocket must be built by the flyer. The rocket shall have a display on the exterior identifying the calculated center of pressure. The rocket must be of “conventional rocket design”. “Odd Rockets” including flying pyramids, saucers and flying spools will not be allowed for any certification flight. The rocket may be either a kit or scratch built. Scratch built rockets may contain commercially built components.
Can our team of lvl 1's build a lvl 2 rocket together and launch it for lvl 2 cert? or do we each have to launch our own rocket, then build a lvl 2 together?
If one member is lvl2, can we all work on a lvl 2 rocket together?
the reason i ask is because our final rocket is a team rocket that needs to hit 8500-10000 feet. I told the team trying to get all 5 of us lvl 3 in 8 months is impossible with our assignment deadlines. So we are building a lvl 2 team rocket. I have thiokol/northrup helping with funds so thats a plus.
but i need to know how to do this single rocket as a team since that is the final grade of our project...
thanks
I am also frustrated because the professor said he is lvl 2 and is supposed to be our mentor, but i just found out that he may not be lvl 2 so now im trying to find a new mentor just in case
