Nahh.. I'm still just an L1 right not.  I have been flying medium power since 
1999-ish... but actually haven't built THAT much high power myself. That being 
said, we can all learn from each other and posts like yours... thanks for the 
tips! I especially like hearing from experienced folks like yourself, Bob and 
others. 

From what I've gathered from talking to folks at the launches, there are a lot 
of low power folks on the list who are interested in dabbling in some of this 
medium to high power stuff, but haven't quite made the leap yet. So sharing 
tips and experiences is always good! :)

Likewise, if anyone has any questions, our long time HP experts like Bob and 
other L2/L3 guys are a rich source of info.

Yeah.. he may have just got a really pristine kit (since the LLOC vendor wants 
him to buy and sell more ;).  But even with the chad and burns.. LOC 
components really are top notch. I've used raw LOC parts to beef up some of my 
low power rockets into medium and high power. Good quality tubes and parts.

Unless someone has designs on some other first MP/HP kit.. I agree..  you 
can't go wrong with LOC!

You too Charles!
