I want to get a record and im an L2 flyer so I decided on the complex L record. I think its a good mix of go high and not too expensive. current very early design is based off of two wildman mach 2 rockets one with slightly modified fins. i did this cause the mach 2 is A) dirt cheap. and B) proven to some extent.
heres the current very quick and dirty sims
given the current complex L record seems to be set at about 35k feet i should snag it easily given no one beats it by an unbelivable margain
my current motor selection is a k250-k1050 if i can find both otherwise i may substitute for k455-l1000 which is similar in terms of altitude. next stop is to purchase 2 wildman mach 2's
As for planning stuff I Have no clue how I want to do upper stage ignition as the k250 has really weird grain geometry so idk about head end ignition
the grain looks like it could maybe do head end ignition but im not sure how id set it up . I may bond in an igniter to a non plugged closure and then the closure could just be recovered by dissolving the potted igniter wires out with epoxy but that feels sketchy. if anyone knows a method to do this on at forward closures.
I will also need a custom rear closure that's been turned flush so I could use the motor as a coupler
I do know of one other rocket that i assume will be going for this record (and would likely absolutely beat it if/when it has a successful flight) but as the record stands this will be plenty and also not bust waivers at far or balls
additionally both stages will be single break single deploy likely flying a mix of eggfinder and featherweight products. thats mostly budget dependent.
