My 6" Ultimate Endeavour Phred on an M3100WT 10-24-12. I thought I had already posted this.

This was awesome. It really impressed my next door neighbor and his dad. They have flown Estes for years but had never watched a High Power launch. When the motor cut off it was like thunder echoing through the area. :grin:
I really need to find somewhere to host my photos so I can do them justice.

I will be flying a 75mm M1160 Green this weekend, does this motor
require grain bonding?

Thanks, Darrel Kelley

Great motor here it is in my Intimidator 5. What are you flying it in?

 

[Cyril's Scribe]

Love the CTI smokey motors, flew WPI's Competitor 3 on a J380 at CMASS last weekend, flew like a charm and ignited instantly!

Thank you, Jeroen for your quick response! Gary, I'll be flying it in a
MadCow Frenzy XL, sims to around 13,000' ! I'll post a video of the
flight as soon as I can edit it.

Very nice flights Gary. Was the 5.5 Nike dual deploy? I have the 5.5 Smoke built and have flew a number of times. I should get a section of tube and make mine DD.

[GaryT]

Gar its redundant DD. Its not going to look right if you stretch it though. It can be done as is you just have to be a bit more creative when packing your chutes.

 

[gdjsky01]

Awesome as usual Gary!

 

[GaryT]

Awesome as usual Gary!

Thanks Jeff. Both are great motors.

I was thinking of using a line cutter.

Gary, your are are right about the Nike not looking right if you stretch it. I did that to my Polecat Nike Smoke. But if you don't look at it as a Nike Smoke, the stretched version flies great for large motors in DD mode. If I had to do it again, I would probably do the Smoke in scale proportions for DD.

[gdjsky01]

Gary do you use separate chute canons? Or a tether with a drogue to pull out the main when the tether fires? Or?
Jeff

 

[GaryT]

Jeff
On the Gizmo XL the main, electronics and cannon is in the NC. I'm not a fan of stretching the original designs cause after you do that its not the same kit anymore. You can see how I designed it in this https://www.rocketryforum.com/showt...-FROM-PERFORMANCE-ROCKETRY&highlight=GIZMO+XL thread.

PS Just added some video of the above flights.

 

[gdjsky01]

And you've flown it more than a few times! I see youtube has it plenty. Do you still use a piece of masking tape across the chute canon? I've seen that thread before. Beautiful work.

 

[GaryT]

Jeff I've used the tape a few times with no problems. I now use a piece of 2" high density foam rubber cut round to about a 4.25" OD. Put a hole in its center then run the shock cord through it, it fits snugly into the 4" chute tube.

Jerone , is CTI still doing there hardware swap program ? And does 4 inch hardware count ?

Almost got away from the camera on that shot, but here it is again on it's way to 6445 ft.:

That was my level 2 cert flight. Thank you CTI for the 3 grain casing! Next up will be the K160 long burn.

 

[GaryT]

Soooooo..... Any spring certification session this year?op:

There will not be a large spring cert session, this spring. Most likely several smaller sessions.

Will the CTI offer of the free casing with a L-1/L-2 motor continue?
