This is what I used for my Tripoli cert 1 & 2 when I got back into HPR a while ago. I would recommend a different model for level 2 unless you do some reinforcing (while it worked for me without reinforcing, there is some fatiguing in the spiral--it will not fly on a J again!). It still flies today and I use it as a show piece for kids at schools. Classic design with a nice payload section. It's super light and has a pretty impressive altitude range depending on the motor you select.
I bought this kit to get my NAR Level 2 Certification. The Rocket went together great with just minor sanding and fitting of the parts. Thank you for the great kit. I plan to buy another for a camera project. Link to the flight video below.

First rate quality and customer service. I added an Aero Pack retainer, and substituted a (LOC) Kevlar shock cord on mine. I'm already L1 and wanted a second rocket (just because), but this model would be a great L1 Cert choice. Highly recommended.
Great kit. Was easy to assemble with some basic 30 minute epoxy. I used the 38 to 29mm adaptor and flew it to 1400' on an H133 for my Tripoli Junior Level One Certification. Great strong kit all-around. Highly recommend for L1 certs or just flying for fun.
I bought this kit for my dad with the 38mm motor. I think this combination leads to a very flexible second or third mid-high power rocket. There were a couple of problems with my order which were immediately and thoroughly corrected. The fins required a little fitting but it is better to have to sand the tabs down than to have them not reach the motor tube. The quality of the materials used in the kit and the customer service I experienced was top notch. The reason I would not suggest this as a first kit in moving past low power is that the directions leave something to be desired for a builder new to high power. If you have done a kit with through the wall fins, rail buttons, have solved motor retention on your own, etc, or if you have an experienced builder handy, there is nothing challenging about this build. This is really the only deficiency that I can find with this kit and is completely irrelevant to a builder with any experience. It is the sole reason that it did not get five stars.
