<People should post some pictures of their L1 rockets here>
Any rocket that meets these relatively open-ended requirements can be used to gain your L1. Some people fly a minimum diameter carbon fiber 38mm rocket on a large I to over 10kft to get their cert, while others send a 6" cardboard rocket to less than 1kft on a mid-sized H. Experienced fliers will likely already have an idea of what they want out of their first HPR, but newcomers might have a harder time selecting an appropriate design. For that reason, the team has a standard design for an L1 rocket that will get around 2kft on economical 29mm H motors, perfect for fields near campus. The rocket is constructed from 3.0" cardboard LOC parts, and all of the required components can be acquired for under $30 per rocket. Builders of this design are free to customize the fins of the rocket to their liking, as long as it is still stable. A boilerplate openrocket design for a good L1 rocket is located here.
