Hopefully I can attempt my Level 2 Certification this Spring. My plan is to build and use the LOC Warlock with a 54mm motor.
I was planning to launch a LOC Magnum 3, with electronics for the deployment but changed my mind
for several reasons. The plan was to use a 54mm motor, the Aerotech K550 W, a 4 grain motor. So I
made the purchase of a 54/1706 complete case and I also have the Spacer Kit.
I intend to use a 54mm J Motor in the Warlock, one with only 2 grains, the Aerotech J460T-14A. So I placed an order with
csrocketry.com for a 54/852 complete case, 2 grain case, because I'm not certain about using the 4 grain case with spacers
for the motor ejection with only to grains!
I've got FFFF black powder so the ejection will go BOOM!
I just got the feeling that using the spacers in the 4 grain case and only 2 grain load was not made for motor ejection but
using electronics for deployment...?
If I use a K550 4 grain motor in the Warlock the apogee is around 4,000 feet!!! That's cool and all but Not something I want to try for
my Level 2 Certification Flight!
