I just returned tp HPR after a 21 year hiatus. I recertified Level 1 at Turkey & GRITS and had a lot of fun at the launch. Now, I am eyeing Level 2. I plan on making the attempt at the February SEARS launch. My plan is as follows:
1. STUDY! There is nothing worse than driving to a launch and flunking the written exam.
2. For a rocket, I have an Apogee/Madcow Torrent new in the bag. Assuming I pass the written exam, I plan to fly it on an Aerotech J350. I plan to use altimeter deployment with motor back-up on the main and a Jolly Logic Chute Release to limit the drift.
I purchase a Chute Release from Chris Short at Turkey & Grits, but decided to wait on using it until I had more time to read and understand the instructions.
Any thoughts?
P.S. I was previously certified Level 2.
