During the latest episode of the Rocketry Show, Charlie mentioned that a 24mm single-use 'Sparky' 'E' motor may become available...:wink:
This I will look forward to... twofers, even!

Without a new shipping exemption we will not be able to offer any sparky reloads smaller than 38mm. However, we can ship S/U hobby sparkys so if we were to make an 18mm sparky it would have to be single use for now.
I think you are placing too much value on a new catalog. The motor matrix contains all of the information you need and can be updated daily if necessary. This isn't to say that a new catalog isn't happening but there are other areas to address. If after a year and a half all we have to be concerned about is a catalog then I would say that is quite successful compared to where we were at.
Hi Charlie.... Have the replacement motors been sent to the Wildman Yet? This is about the J250W motor that CATO'D at MidWest Power in Nov. 2016. Thanks Greg Olson Elgin,IL
For the second time in a row I've ordered a DMS H550 (38mm Super Thunder) and gotten an RMS reload kit instead. I really suggest that AT change the name of the reload kit to something other than H550. It seems like most vendors' stocking systems are unable to keep track of two products with the same name.
I agree, a reload and single use should never be the same numbers
That's one way to look at it. Another is that both AT and CTI have selected motor names for reasons other than the average impulse before, so there's no need to reuse the same name. You can look back at this very thread and see that many people were unaware there even was an RMS version of the H550.Vendors need to fix this not Aerotech.
So much for the 24 and 29mm sparkies in the pipeline...
Ok, how about other propelents? Smokey? Red? Etc.
SU would be fine btw.
I agree. Between the ThrustCurve app on my iphone (you can download everything in case you don't have service on the field), the new motor matrix, and the info that comes with the reload kit, I've never wondered which motor to fly next. Let the '09-'10 catalog live on!!! (just my opinion.)
You guys have done a great job resolving the hardware availability and limited communication issues from a while ago, and coming up with lots of new motors to keep us happy and coming back for more.
Are there any plans for more 38-1320 reloads? I would absolutely love a green load for this case. A long burn white lightning would be very interesting, but probably not see a lot of use.
We don't have anything planned at this time but the 1320 case is on our radar for some new loads. A few others have been asking for a green there also so we will be doing some research throughout the year. Mostly though you will see new hobby products in the first part of the year.

Charlie, I wonder who might be asking for Mojave Green? I think it would be me- very likely my favorite propellant.
I'm looking forward to flying these K-2050's this year...

Charlie,
I'd like to put in a plug for more reloads for the 1 grain 75mm case.
Wildman Tim called and spoke to Charlie yesterday. The K-2050 does not need to to be glued together. The TMT announcement contains that erroneous instruction that the 2050 needs to be glued. It would be great if TMT updated the announcement as to not confuse customers.
If you post a link to where the incorrect information is published and if I can get confirmation from Aerotech that the information is incorrect, I'll bring it up with the appropriate people. I don't know if the motor testing was done with the grains glued or what effect that has on the certification.

I received clarification from Charlie. If the rocket is one that will be subjected to high acceleration, glue bonding the grains makes sense. For rockets with a lower acceleration gluing the grains is not necessary. I'll talk to the rest of the board to see what, if anything, needs to be added to Paul's announcement.
