It's official, I'm going to make an attempt to get my L1 and L2 certs through NAR this year. That's the plan anyway, we'll see what life throws up in the way in the mean time. I'm a 32 year old mechanical engineer, and the father of two young children (8mo and 3yo), so free time is always at a premium. I don't expect to be fully complete until at least April
I'll be making the certification attempts with a 2.6" thin-wall fiberglass Madcow DX3 with dual deployment. I'll be documenting what will likely be an extended build process here, mostly as a record of my work for potential review by the individuals signing my cert, but also as a means to ask questions and leave a record from which others can learn. I probably won't be attempting many revolutionary things in regards to construction techniques, but there are a couple methods that I'm looking forward to employing.
I think I finally got nearly everything together that I'm going to need, except for paint and primer and possibly some other hardware odds and ends. To that end, here is an obligatory introductory photo of what will eventually become my rocket. [Electronics and associated hardware (a whole box full) is not pictured].
