I'm starting to work on the largest rocket that I will have built to date. It is a LOC Precision Bruiser EXP with the addition of the LOC Removable Nose Weight System (RNWS). Once completed, it should be about 112" long ( 9' 4"), 7.6" in diameter and weigh about 22 pounds without a motor.
It has the LOC Modular Motor Adapter System (MMAS) with a 75mm motor mount. For motor retention I'm going to use a flanged AeroPack retainer. I'm also planning to add some extra reinforcement in a few places so that I can fly it on an M1350 for my L3 certification.
So far I've named it "Prometheus" who was the Titan (Ancient Greek) god who stole fire from the other gods and gave it to the humans. I've also considered a few other names for it such as "Ursa Major" (Big Bear) and "The Beast".
I placed the order last week and the folks at LOC Precision were very helpful in switching out the standard NC for the RNWS. I just received the kit today. I've done a preliminary inventory and I think everything is there except the main parachute which, according to the note in the box, will be shipped separately in the near future. My next step will be to weigh each of the pieces to see how they match up with my OpenRocket simulation. Here are some pictures:
