In this week's podcast recording, we're discussing getting into high-power rocketry!

Imagine three people, one L1, one L2, and one L3, came up and asked for advice on building and flying fast and high rockets. What are you going to recommend for each of them for getting into high-performance rocketry?

Haven't flown anything exceptionally spicy, but are interested? What kits, motors, scratch-building techniques, etc., have you been looking at in terms of venturing into the world of high-performance flights?

Step one to flying high and fast, move somewhere within a couple hours drive of the Mojave Desert. If you don't have REGULAR access to the high waivers, you won't get enough practice to iterate and compound your experience. If you can only go to Balls or Far or whatever once every 3 years, and the rest of the time you live in an area with a 5k waiver, its hard to believe someone who doesn't get to practice, will get demonstrably better 🫠

Step 2 is get Loki hardware if you want to maximize COTS performance
