Good kit rocket for H45 DMS long burn

I purchased an H45 long burn motor thinking I could put in my super batray but now considering just building a rocket to match the motor for that long slow launch.
You have any experience with this motor ? What did it fly in?
Looking like ideal for 2.0-2.5 lb rocket with 38mm, not worried about going max altitude

I love this motor in the Madcow 2.6" FG kits. I've flown it in the Black Brant II and the ARCAS. Nice realistic flights with motor deploy. I don't remember the altitudes, but I'll check my log when I get home.

Cheers,
Michael

Thx Michael, might be time for a black Brandt 2. Mine is plugged so no motor deploy, I have to run an altimeter and deploy that way, but if altitude is 2500+ I should probably dual deploy anyway since i Have to use an altimeter anyway

It has the motor in its name!

I have the LOC Big Sister EZ-I65 for the Aerotech Big Brother DMS I65! I haven't flown them yet, but really looking forward to it.

Just be aware...if I remember correctly, speed off the rod was marginal. It was over 40, though, for sure. I flew in no-wind conditions. I love the slow realistic lift-off's!

Altitude I'm sure was not over 2K on this motor. I have a 2.6" thin wall kit that will be finished by NSL. It may be an even better candidate for the H45. I'll let you know in a few weeks.

Cheers,
Michael

Definitely. Certified on this very combination many years ago.

I've seen many scratch builds using 2.6" cardboard airframes with great results.

The best flight of my original Tri-Star (4" with 3 38mm mounts) was on 3 H45-10's. Motor ejection back in 1990.
I do have a High Tech, last flown on a CTI I55 Mellow to 4700 feet.

I just flew this AT H45 SU in my LOC Vulcanite (3.6 lbs) to 3000 ft last weekend, a little chuffing in the beginning but otherwise very nice motor.
I am going to try the reloadable AT I59 next. Where to get a plugged forward closure?

Balsa Machining Service sells them ..you can preorder and save a few bucks.

How about a Estes Scion or Leviathan set up for DD, might be a good combination for that motor?

I saw Stickershock Mark fly a H45 in a small traffic cone..it kept going and going !

Inspired me to take home a H45 from the launch to try in my Funk Saucer .
