Hello everyone,
Just ordered a LOC IV and will be attempting a Level 1 flight next month in Lucerne Lake!
I want to fly it on an H motor and want to go with the safest and single-use option for this flight. I was thinking Aerotech H100W-14A but not sure if it would handle it well. Especially right as it's leaving the launch rod in case there are strong winds that day. My understanding is that we want the rocket to go straight up 90 degrees if possible so not sure if this motor would have enough power to fight the wind (if there is any).
I will also be fiberglass wrapping the fins so that will add a bit of weight too.
Any suggestions?
