Hi !
Just thougt, I should share my two flight successes with you !
Building the kit was´nt difficult at all. Since I had to make it flyable whithin 9 days ;-))
(, because I wanted to fly it at a meeting, but it was then too windy).
I have to say, that it isn´t that easy to fly HPR- motors in Germay.. much licenses are needed to make it possible.
You have to know, that you can only buy and fly BP- Motors till 20g of propellant without a so called "T2- Schein", license after §27.
Because I´m only 16, I´m not allowed to make this, but if you want to fly bigger motors, you just have to know sb., you ownes one and supervisors you the whole prepping time.. I think, this is a little bit, like you handle this ?!?
Since I´m writing 3 years in the German rocketry forum and visited many events (https://www.raketenmodellbau.de - many guys read yours!), they have the confidence in me, (they let me know, when I´m making a mistake in building etc.) that I am able to do this..

Since I only flew SU- Motors with the max of an G80T, my first RMS- motor was an I195J ;-)) (AT´s biggest J.. ok, now - that´s a step..), which brought it to around 3000 feet under a very neck snapping velocity. The same distance from the pad ;-) it landed at least (Main at apogee - motor ejection). That was´nt a problem, since we were on a very nice, big field.
The second flight was just as great as the first - it landed again without any damage.
After giving a price for the people, who gets it in a picture, only one made it ;-)..
Ok, I made it very hard, since I used a I300T..
I hope, you have fun reading this.. if there are any questions, I´ll try to answer them in my bad Englisch ;-)
Here´s my cover- picture with both flights on them..
