Certify Level 1
Moving into high-power rocketry is usually done by building a kit for your level 1 HPR certification. This video shows you how to build a typical entry-level HPR kit and prepare it for your certification flight (running time 27m).
Products mentioned or shown in the video:
- Loc/Precision LOC-IV kit
- Aero Pack motor retainers
- Giant Leap "Slimline" retainers
- Nylon webbing at strapworks.com
- Doghouse Rocketry rail buttons

I have also created a YouTube playlist with the key videos in order, making a nice introduction to HPR for those interested in venturing into it.
For more info on the rocket shown, see the LOC-IV page. If you would like to follow along, I scanned in the kit instructions.
Way back in 1998, I got my TRA level 1 certification with another Loc/Precision kit, the I-ROC.
