I already have a skylark sounding rocket / build thread that I have been flying for a few years now relatively successfully. (https://www.rocketryforum.com/threads/skylark-sounding-rocket.145395/) and a couple of months ago I promised a part 2, HPR upscale version, as although I greatly enjoy flying the MPR version, and intend to continue to do so, its small scale has made it a real challenge to prep/fly. So I wanted to build an upscale version, that would fly comfortably on HPR motors, and be a bit easier to prep.
Another big factor was wanting to push my skill level up a bit further and this was the obvious next step.
Finally 2 stage HPR flights are extremely rare here in the UK, I have personally only seen one in the last 5 or so years. So thought it was about time they were flown more regularly, and had the motivation of this years Midland sky launch event (my big launch of the year) being in only a few months, and nothing new to fly to get it done.
So here is the thread, its gonna be a bit in retrospect as I was in such a rush to get this done in time, reporting on it took a back seat.
Spoiler alert! the launch was last weekend, and boy did she fly great.
Lots of build photos, 3D models, renders, launch photos/videos and data to come soon.
