Level 1 Motors

Robert DeHate is usually at our Amesbury launches representing CTI/Animal Motor Works. He has casings and reloads that would be great for L1. Get a hold of him through the members list and see what he can do for you.

You have to be certified to purchase motors at that level so you'll need a "sponsor" to purchase one for you for your attempt. There are plenty of L1, L2 and even some L3 folks at the launches so that won't be a problem. You have to be a member of the NAR or Tripoli to become certified at a CMASS launch.

Another option would be to drive a little further to Berwick, ME, and try at a MMMSC launch. There should be a waiver by next year's season and the field is very large and flat making recovery a little easier. Robert has attended at least two launches up there and will likely become a regular once the waiver is issued. The national membership applies there, too.

If you have any questions, come to a club meeting some night or find someone with the experience to bounce questions off of (not me - not L1 or even close).

Have fun building this winter.

In the past, Cesaroni has also run certification specials with a reduced cost for a motor case and your first reload. Make sure Robert knows the case/reload is for a certification flight in case he is running a special.

I have read many other posts (on other forums) saying this same thing. It is not true. You are allowed to buy a single "lvl 1" motor for cert. flights. You do not need to find someone else to buy it for you.

True but you have to find a dealer who is willing to sell one to you. Some are reluctant if they don't know you.
