Hey All!
So after a long time in the hobby as a kid and getting back into it numerous times over the last 10 years as an adult, I finally decided to make the leap into HPR and get my L1 cert. After going back and forth on what rocket to use for my L1 cert (see this thread) I decided to go with the Madcow Super DX3 4.0 Payloader (https://www.apogeerockets.com/Rocke...et-Kits/Super-DX3-4-0in-Payloader?cPath=1_82&). I'm calling this rocket "Blackout" for reasons that will become clear during the finishing process. I ordered the rocket on Monday and, because I'm in Colorado only about 120 miles from Apogee, I got it delivered on Tuesday!
I'm actually NOT planning on jumping into this one just yet. I have a few MPR rockets that I want to get through first and it's still cold here in Colorado so I'm going to wait to start the build until spring. I figured I'd start this thread to help flush out some of the design decission I still need to make so looking for some good feedback from the community. In the meantime, the rocket will sit in it's back, patiently waiting to get built.
