We just prepped our fiberglass Vertical Assault with von Kármán carbon fiber nose cone to fly on a CTI L1030 red lighting motor, HCX flight computer, and RF tracking beacon.
She pulled 20 G’s rocketing from 0 to 980 MPH in 1.85 seconds, soaring to 14,685 ft. with a perfect recovery. Except for the internal video cam, which has failed me three times and I will not try to use again.
