The Flying Lobster

The Flying Lobster started out as a LOC-IV X2 kit I used to get a Level 1 certification from the National Association for Rocketry.

Level 1

The rocket's retention harness broke on its first flight (shown on the left), but I repaired it in the field for a successful second launch, earning my Level 1 certification.

I made a few upgrades between my Level 1 and Level 2 certification flights, not least of which was a new paint job.

Level 2

The flight was successful and I recieved my Level 2 certification.

And according to my simulation, the rocket ascended over 4000 feet.
