PROLINE ROCKETRY HIGH END KITS AND COMPONENTS

[beezwax]

WOW that is gorgeous!

 

[legranddudu]

Gary sounds like a medium speed J-K impulse to me...easy going...now how long is the booster as such? I would need to accomodate a 36 (J) or 48 inches casing inside (K)...

Denis
I just realized you asked about the MM... Its a 54mm MM and is 24" long. Finished weight with everything but the motor will probably be around 15lbs.

 

[GaryT]

Curtis and I talked about it today and the booster will most likely be 48", the CTI 6XL case will be no problem. Hybrids well that's another story.

That is one very fine looking rocket. It really makes the point of a Pro rocket. Like Proline. Maybe I won't wait for the V2.

I am going to buy an arcs. No doubt about it.

 

[Dwatkins]

Is there enough room for us power junkies to put a 75mm motor mount in it?

I am as well. I have nothing in this league...I don't even have my L1 before Saturday...but I must have one of these...

Dennis

Dennis due to its boat tail 54mm is the biggest it can have.

 

[MWC]

Can I be a beta tester for this kit, Gary?

 

[GaryT]

Hey Jim I have to get one 1st lol

No problem... you're alpha, I'm beta.

Gary,

I am salivating over the Arcas. I know it would be custom order, but could the booster tube be made 60" long? Could Curtis make up a short section of thick wall "coupler" stock to fit in the airframe? :headbang:

Gary,

How long is the Arcas?

 

[DRAGON64]

Gary,

How long is the Arcas?

If it stays pretty close to scale, it will be 2.3m or 90.5" long.

 

[Yoehahn]

I really really really want to see someone Take the thrust ring off a snap ring EX motor (I'm assuming 75mm) and slide it down the body tube so the nozzle just sticks out the end of the boat tail and the motor is retained from the front end of the the (recovery is attached to the motor case) and fly it Min-Diameter... It would screw up the bolt-in mount for the fins tho... hmmmm.

Darn,

I forgot it was full scale.

 

[G_T]

Just replace the whole lower section with a motor case and nozzle carrier, and bolt the fins to that!

There's a reason I'm asking about thick walled couplers above. I've been experimenting with G-12 cased motors recently and have a 1:1 Arcas planned for Balls this year. Indeed this offering has my attention and has some serious potential for "true" minimum diameter applications!

Whether built for sport flying or extremes, the brief glimpses of this bird we've seen so far are impressive!

[GaryT]

Without getting to deep into it we already have a single use booster planned. What you'll get is a thick walled coupler that retains your forward closure, a filament wound booster with a graphite or phenolic nozzle wound right into the boat tail along with an aluminum ring that the fins bolt into. 3 nozzles in M, N & O will be available. The flier supplies the propellant.

And thats all your getting out of me for now lol.

 

[legranddudu]

Yep...sounds good to me...I need to host 53" of casing inside....good idea, even if the usage is different...

I am going to buy an ARCAS, but the V2 is firmly in my sights. The ARCAS is starting to sound like a better option.

 

[Quaranta]

Still a V2 fan here... (Posted to avoid the V2 feeling like the ugly stepsister...) :grin:

V2 can never be an ugly stepsister. She is more the voluptuous sister everybody wants.

 

[COrocket]

Is the ARCAS going to have a filament wound nosecone? I'm building an HV variant with a gel-coat cone but I'd be interested in getting a filament one if they are available.

 

[Hyperbound]

Any timeline yet?

The ARCAS is most definitely going to have a filament wound NC with aluminum tip. As for time nothing is etched in stone yet but we're getting close!

 

[Quaranta]

Gary, Any details (or pics :grin: ) that can be revealed about the V2? Any chance it will be configured for NC dual deploy, or that you'll offer this as an option?

 

[Quaranta]

I guess not...

 

[crossfire]

Hello Gary T
Are we getting any closer to the ARACS or the V-2 being ready for sale??
