Did you start your Competitor 5 build yet? Let me know if you have any questions. If I built mine over again I would add a 2 ft section with coupler and make it zipperless.
Hi John.
Thanks for the welcome. I think that I have talked to you a few times by email. You fly with the MC2 group right? I have a SkyRipper 29mm system but I still need to build a rocket for it. Do you know of a good rocket for the 29mm system? I have a PML Callisto kit that I have thought about adding a payload bay to the top and using the SRS motors. How do you set up the airframe so that the vent will match up for different length SRS motors?
Hey John, Yes, It is a Competitor 5 in my L3 video. Perfectflite MAWD said 11,746' The MW RRC2 said 12,400'. So 12,000 feet on a Loki M1882. 38lbs pad weight. Let me know if you need any help or advice. I have a lot of data from my L3 cert. experiance that I would be more then happy to share with you.
I hope to fly my Comp.5 at LDRS on an AMW N2020.

My Loki 76/6000 case just came in today, looks like my L3 is starting to come together for ST2008!

Hope to see you at some launches this year.
