Altitude Question

Hi,

The fist launch is approaching and I am may go for my L2. Over the long winter months I built the Intimidator 3 and it is set up for dual deployment. I have a couple of choices for motors, first If I really want to go for it is a Pro 54 3gr. J1520 Vmax and that will gain an elevation of 3570ft, if I play it safer the choice is a Pro 38 6gr. J410 Red Lightning and that will gain an elevation of 2100ft.
I would like to go with the first choice if the weather is calm but I am a bit nervous about the never seeing the rocket again.
So if you read this and have an opinion about Amesbury elevation, let me know.

Thanks,

Joe Hagan

Hi Bill,
Thanks for the direction. I do not know if you recall or not that my first L1 cert flight resulted in a lost rocket and I was lucky to get it back when one of our friendly neighbors put the rocket on the fence. So I think I will go the conservative route.
Thanks,
Joe Hagan

I agree with Bob. 2100\' is a great altitude for a L2 cert flight. If you need a witness, let me know, I will be more than happy to be a witness for your flight. Let me know when you are going for the attempt. Have you passed the test yet?

I called NAR Headquarters a while ago and they are supposed to get a test to me. The time is getting short; I will have to give them another call.

I understand this would be the L2 test process. I bring the unopened test envelope and L2 application to the launch. The test is then administered and checked at the launch.
So if I pass the test, launch and recover the rocket successfully I then send the test and L2 application back to NAR headquarters.
