L1 Certification, Technical

Receiving Parts for L1 Rocket

I carefully chose a rocket to gain my L1 certification. I wanted to get a rocket that I could also use with smaller rocket motors (which means I can legally fly it). Once I have my L1, I can then legally fly it using  larger rocket motors. The rocket I choose is a Callisto which I got from http://ausrocketry.com.

Below are some pictures of the parts carefully extracted from the delivery box and spread out for each viewing and inspection.
