    I am wanting to laugh thinking of this failing due to inability to insert the ignitor beyond the 2" core. Guessing you have this detail figured out.

    I don't get it. This may also be the first time I was referred to as normal. Maybe I'm an exception to that second part.

    If he is both, just cert with TRA. They are cross certified, right? I am not a dual member, but I never thought reps from BOTH would be needed.

    Either a heck of a sale or they mixed up the cost of the reloads. Performance hobbies has the low price on the website, but out of stock. The case alone is priced higher.

    I haven't tried every reload, but the 38/360, 480, and 720s I tried do not flare outward. I haven't seen a phenolic or graphite nozzle do this.
