Madcow had an Independence weekend sale, 15% everything in stock. I got their last Formula 200. Blue, not what I would have preferred, but who knows if or when Curtis will make any more?
I was able to snag a retainer, a 75 > 98 mm adapter, 33" Nomex, and some RocketPoxy, too. Saved $115 total.
This is probably the biggest thing I will ever build, at 8" diameter by 10'4" tall. No rush on the build, as I am planning to debut it at LDRS 36 in April.
Hoping to snag chutes and harnesses on Black Friday or Labor Day, etc.

Snagged a 15' military surplus chute from Always Ready Rocketry for $69. So, that saved me another $100+. Rocket is due to arrive Wednesday.

Have fun with it! I'm looking forward to launching ours again when we go back to Higgs farm.

I've seen so much of that 'probably will be the biggest thing/motor I fly'. It never is... Anyway good luck with the build, should be a good one.

I know, I know. I said I was just going to get my L3 and then go back to H motors. But I mean it this time!!!!

My dad was pretty much the same way. When I got my L1 he said he'd never do that, too expensive. Now he's going to get his L2 later this month, and gearing up for an L flight or two at LDRS 36. It's inly a matter of time before the two of us head out to black rock in an attempt to break records...
