CPR-3000 Based Rocket Kits

(NOTE: A CPR-based rocket must always be flown with the electronics installed. A CPR-based rocket cannot be flown with motor-based ejection).

Parachute: 54" main & 18" drogue | Payload: None
Fin Array: 4 main and 4 canard | Fin Thickness: 0.06"

The AMRAAM 4 CPR is a beautiful, scale kit for Level 1 and 2 flights. This rocket stands 77.7" tall, is 3.9" diameter, and has a 4 main and 4 canard fin design. This rocket comes standard with a 54/38/29mm Kwik-Switch motor mount and can fly on H thru J motors. At ~112 oz., the 54" main & 18" drogue parachute is sized right for the stock kit to make a safe landing under most field conditions. This kit comes standard with our exclusive Linear Rail Lugs for use with 80/20 brand launch rails. The stock airframe is ideal for flights up to approx. 0.85 Mach.

Below you will find a number of upgrade options. Upgrading the parachute size may be necessary if you intend to build heavy or have a hard landing surface (i.e. gravel, pavement, desert playa, etc.). Some motors will accelerate this rocket to transonic or even supersonic velocities. Under these conditions, this kit may require the fin upgrade, foam encapsulation of the fin root, as well as other advanced construction skills.

Motor Recommendations | More Specifications

It is prudent to sim your kit/motor combination using the actual weight of your finished model to determine max velocity, altitude, ejection delay, etc. This will allow you to make an informed decision when selecting a suitable motor for your rocket. Please download and read the PML FAQ and/or consult with a NAR or Tripoli certified member to insure your flights are fun and safe.

Co-Pilot v3.0 Altimeter

The Co-Pilot was designed to integrate perfectly with the CPR3000 based rockets above!

PML Co-Pilot Version 3 Altimeter:

The Public Missiles Ltd. Co-Pilot v3 altimeter was developed exclusively for Public Missiles Ltd. by Missile Works Corp., and was designed specifically for PML’s CPR3000 Recovery System (though it can also be used in other applications as well, such as scratch-built deployment systems).

PHYSICAL AND OPERATIONAL FEATURES

Same footprint as the original Co-Pilot and Co-Pilot v2.0.
Works just like the original Co-Pilot and Co-Pilot v2.0 in default mode right out of the package, but has MANY new advanced features such as Drogue Delay, Main Delay, multiple Main AGL settings, a programmable “Aux” terminal (and more!) that are user-configurable (see link to instructions below for details)
Works perfectly with any PML CPR-3000, CPR-MAX kit, or a custom design of your own
15 flight memory at up to 28 minutes recording per flight
USB connection port (requires user-provided USB-A to Mini- B cable). Programing and flight data inspection via PC or laptop becomes a snap with the free mDACS software available below*
Optional LCD display allows for quick configuration and read-out at the field*
Sea level to 40,000 MSL operational capability
Clearly marked, dedicated "large-screw" compression terminals for connecting On/Off switch and ejection charges
On-board 9volt battery with heavy-duty mount and lockdown
* Please note that access to the Base Settings is made available via the CP3 DIP switch and pushbutton interface. The value of all these settings can be verified or reconfigured at any time without the use of the optional LCD Terminal (available only directly from Missile Works at this time here ) or PC USB interface. They provide a “manual” way to set up the CP3. However, the easiest and fastest way to configure the CP3 and review flight data is via the optional LCD Terminal Module or via the free mDACS PC software available below.
FUNCTIONAL, DIAGNOSTIC, AND DATA FEATURES
Interactive menu programming and operation via pushbutton, DIP switches and LED or using the optional LCD terminal or USB connection to a PC
All User setpoints are stored in non-volatile EEPROM
All flight data is stored in non-volatile FLASH memory for post-flight recall, even across power cycles
Complete on-board diagnostic capability, including battery voltage, baro sensor, input and output test modes, and more.
Post-flight log data such as peak AGL elevation, peak velocity, time to apogee, and more!
