Yes, when I started the Dr. Rockets set used to sell for right around $100. It featured both closures and one of each casing: 120, 180, 240, and 360.

Oh, okay. I was under the impression it was a 38mm version of the Hobbyline 29/40-120.

Thx for the reply.

Question: This morning while perusing the Net I found a reference to a RMS 38/120-360 hardware set. Does/Did this really exist?

I had a set with a 360, 720 and RAS. still seems to exist. https://www.csrocketry.com/rocket-m...8/120-hardware/aerotech-38/120-720-combo.html

I sold it.... But I'll probably get another one someday. or at least 720 case. I miss the J500G and I600R

Steve,
You're inventing cases... :wink: There isn't a 38/180 case, yet... Maybe you meant 480? Wasn't that the L1 set? Then you added the 600, 720, and 1080 to complete the set.

Good catch and Im sorry. Youre right. I was inventing a mon-existent size. Can I plead too much egg nog?
Yes, it was the L1 set.

Wow, sweet find there. I'll have to keep it in mind.

Thx for sharing!

I think yours is the very first purchase I ever made on TRF, my first reload hardware at all.

Glad to know it isn’t dusty... and hope it’s still serving well

Just got my shipping confirmation on my warranty replacement 29/40-120 and reload from AT.

Madison Alum · Dec 31, 2017

Is Aerotech's website down? haven't been able to access it for the last 2 1/2 day. Keep getting error 503 service is unavailable.

dhbarr · Dec 31, 2017

Yup, 503's all day.

Webstore is still up, just the main site that is down:

Charlie, is there any news on the delivery of the 24/40 rms RC casings? I heard some 29mm casings are coming out now. It's really hurt my business, I get almost daily questions about my rc rocket glider kits but without casings I can't sell them.

I just got my warranty 29/40-120 from AT yesterday along with the warranty replacement reload, great service even if it did take 3 months, Karl was upfront about the whole process.

djs · Jan 4, 2018

I hate to be a nag, but any news on the 29/40-120 red load?

Maxitout · Jan 4, 2018

I was wondering about the availability of the new 24/60 load, the F51NT, that was certified in Nov. It would also be nice to see the red load for the 29/40-120.

In case anyone cares... situation appears unchanged.

Tobor · Jan 5, 2018

I just noticed that several vendors now have the 29/40-120 hardware in stock. Light at the end of the tunnel?

Mine is here, though I'm too sick to go check it in right now. More hardware is coming soon too.

Lights ? Tunnel ? Wrong analogy I think. More like Wack A Mole. One mole down !

I'm sure Aerotech wishes they had lots of extra hardware in all flavors to meet the demand for them, I think they'll do their best to avoid future shortages. Selling motors = selling reloads.

A wish shared by myself and many I think I am also sure that the retail hobby rocket motor game is alot harder than I think ! :blush: I just think in terms of cycles and fire fighting rather than a linear journey. Nothin' but love for Aerotech.

Lots of cool stuff "in the works"....but none of it available...

Does anyone know ETA on the F67s, 24/60 loads, Q-Jets?

F67 should be to dealers soon. I think they were waiting on the labels prior to inventory.
