I post this seeking the almighty wisdom of the forum members. I have a few ideas floating around in my head and I think after the summer months in AZ I want to go back out with my club and see if I can get a rocket to reach a mile. I recently got my L1 cert on an H123 with a Loc IV. I really enjoy big diameter rockets but something inside me is wanting to try something else, reaching the mile mark. I think thats gonna take a smaller rocket.
A few things Id like to have as a payload. I list these because I feel comfortable using them and so far have had good luck with my chute release and have read great things on the tracker:
JL chute release (I own one and love it)
Eggfinder mini (ordering one real quick, hopefully tomorrow)
JL Altimeter 2 (Ill order that sometime before the end of summer)
Id like for the rocket to have a small payload bay. I know you can attach things to the shock cord, but right now Id prefer to have just the chute release on the shock cord.
29 or 38 mm motor. This is the part Im unsure of. With the payload, what size motor would lift said rocket to a mile? I have a 38/240 case right now. If necessary, Im willing to buy another case for a motor that I may need. As long as the tracking device works, I shouldnt lose the casing, fingers crossed.
So, what do you think of my plan and any ideas on rockets? I like Loc and Madcow kits.
