Hi Lee! It was great to meet you out there, sorry that that we couldn't demo anything but it was still a great launch. Also, there shouldn't be any issues with the 24mm Estes retainer.
Hi Charlie
I had a little problem with a DMS H219T today at Bong. The 1st H219T which I have had for a while worked perfect. So I purchased another one from WM and was going to fly it. Right as motor starter lit the forward closure let go popping nosecone off the rocket on the pad. No damage to rocket. When I removed motor from the rocket both grains and forward closure were still in the rocket. There is some type of red tape wrapped around the forward closure end that fits in motor case. No signs of much epoxy. By the way the booster part of rocket stayed on the rail up right. Seems strange to see both grains inside with forward closure inside of the rocket. A MESS was filed and pictures were taken. WM replaced the motor with the H? ST motor

Thank you for filing a MESS report. We really do pay attention to those things.
A few months ago at one of our local launches we had a very similar incident. The forward closure of a single use AT motor was ejected forward through the rocket at ignition. Our Prefect took the information in order to submit a MESS report. The parts did not appear to have any epoxy, or if they did, very little.

ATGM/Charles- any news on the 29/40-120 red load? or is it still currently hanging out with NAR S+T?
Thanks! I'm TOTALLY waiting with $$$ for the F67s In the meantime I've placed several orders of F44-4's to find that they are backordered again. Is there any guidance as to when supply on those will start rolling out? They've been backordered from my two favorite vendors for three months now.
I'm most eagerly waiting designs I've seen mentioned here which avoid the -ridiculous- hazmat shipping fees. The more choices, the better.
K650T in my modified 4 inch Wildman Punisher at the recent URRG launch. Pretty good flame for Blue Thunder. Will probably try the K1999N next.
Are you planning to have any large 24 mm motors in the full g size soon?

Sweet, I only have a few g65's left!We may/may not have discussed 24mm DMS G motors in a few meetings.
Charlie
Any ideas on what may have caused the failure? I fly a good amount of the DMS line of motors.

Will we see a 29mm sparky RMS reload at any point soon? Are there any more loads for the 29/360 planned? Are there any plans to get some HPR Blackjack motors that aren't hazmat in the 29mm diameter any time soon? Are there any loads for the 18/20 planned (I'd like to fly a 18mm BlackJack motor at some point in my life...). Are the 29mm F's for the 29mm 40/120 going to be retooled at some point to ship in 30 gram parts like the G53 was from the G33?
Awesome. Hopefully you guys come out with them.We may/may not have discussed 24mm DMS G motors in a few meetings.

I was actually thinking of something a bit more powerful, like a full G.The return of the G55? That was a fun motor.
Mr. Savoie, may I inquire about the availability of the 75mm L875DM?
Hi Charlie;
Are you going to be at Airfest? I'm planning on flying a M1939W at MWP and have a mark on the liner. Last year there was a mark much worse than this that caused a burn through and swelled the case. So upon inspection of the liner I found this mark. It doesn't appear to be a crack or show any signs of going into the wall thickness of the liner, it appears to be on the surface only . If you are going to be there I can bring it if you want to inspect it prior to glueing up the motor for MWP.
Thanks
OD.
