High Powered Rocketry Certification Day
Рет қаралды 15,422
Richard attended the Rocketry Organization of California (ROC) monthly launch in Lucerne Valley, California at the Lucerne Dry Lake to qualify for his Level 1 high-powered rocketry certification through Tripoli. He flew an I-140W-14A Disposable Motor System (DMS) in a customized LOC EZI-65 rocket kit. It was 3lbs 15.2 oz, 4 inches in diameter, and 57.625" in length.
The ROC is a model and high-power rocketry club based primarily in Southern and Central California.
Watch to get some idea of what to expect on your first rocket launch at the ROC club meet-ups.

Wow. Am I understanding this correctly? This was your FIRST flight... going for a Level 1 cert... with a custom build... on a freaking "I" engine??? Nice flight, and congrats on that accomplishment. Wish I had a field like that.

Haha. Thank you. You could say that the pandemic left me with a lot more time on my hands to research and take my time with it. This desert spot is about 90 minutes away, so yeah, it's fortunate to have this club too that meets here.

It’s an EZI-65 from loc precision. It’s not custom. Or maybe it is to some extent

I enjoyed this video quite a lot, it was shot and edited really well! (Film experience?) I would love to see more of this journey, I am aspiring to get my own L1 cert someday. I would also love to see more about the designing and building a rocket from y'all (there are a lot of videos out there already but I enjoy your commentary :))

I just started my first custom build with zero previous experience will be going for my L1 this spring so it was a good experience watching you go through it all for your first time. You really went for it with that I motor lol I'm planning to use an H try and keep it low and slow for my first go at it. edit: Bummer only the one video was a really good one though thanks for sharing your experience!

Question what is the purpose of the certification?.. Job?
@RichardsRocketry Жыл бұрын
Hi Bovinicus, good question. To legally fly high power rockets in the US, a person must be certified by one of the high powered rocketry organizations. It's also a requirement to be able to buy these motors that are larger than hobby size. So, it's not to qualify for a job, but for the ability to participate in the hobby legally and purchase the motors! 🙂🚀🚀🚀
