L2 Rocket

The step up from L1. Bigger motor, longer airframe, more complex recovery, and the same care applied to a harder set of problems. Just started the build. L2 adds a written exam, a J/K/L motor, and mandatory dual-deployment recovery with altimeter-triggered ejection charges.

Scale the L1 approach to a significantly more powerful vehicle without losing the attention to process that made L1 work.

• NAR Level 2 certification requirements
• Increased structural loads from a higher-impulse motor
• Dual-deployment recovery with redundant altimeters
• Field assembly needs to stay manageable without special tooling

• Dual altimeter bay with independent battery and arming systems
• All-fiberglass airframe for structural margin beyond minimum requirements
• Extended avionics section to fit the redundancy without moving the CG

1. 01

   Written exam study underway, required before the certification flight

2. 02

   Airframe build started

3. 03

   Avionics bay planned for dual altimeter with independent battery and arming. Same serviceability standard as L1.
