So whats the difference between "White Lightning" and "Super White lightning"? Is it the same as Super thunder compared to Blue Thunder?

It's more better. It's SUPER!!!

DavidMcCann · Feb 25, 2017

If you add the word super you can charge 15% more.

crossfire · Feb 25, 2017

Super when will the new motors be in dealers hands?

terryg · Feb 25, 2017

I would imagine that there had to be some grain design/formula changes to get a stable burn with the extra surface area from that many small grains.

The motor uses a 1080 case and only pushes out 714ns of impulse ?

I saw that. I love the J570, and this seems to be less.

I was just gonna ask.... thats crazy... What are they, 1" cores?

The cores are not stepped , i can tell that from the curve. Quick math is giving me a corr size of right around .75 .

Mr G · Feb 25, 2017

If I heard Gary correctly, there will be spacers between grains on the J520. That would provide a lot of surface area up front and maybe explain why so much initial thrust.

But can they make a "super dark matter"?

It's like, how much more dark could this be? and the answer is none. None more dark.

Was there any news on the new hobby line reloads?

With the additional tag line- this motor goes to 11

We haven't announced anything official yet, are looking to make some new product announcements at NARCON at the end of February. There is a larger announcement that we will be making too.

Oh, look, tomorrow's March 1!

E28-7, is it suppose to have a grain adaptor or not? I know the AT drawing shows the adaptor but some kits come without it.

It worked three times for me without it, but I would like to know the AT answer??

I spoke with Karl about this, his final answer is that they should all come with the grain spacer.

Any news on the baby red?

We have a few that we tested, we are going to finish up the 24/60 loads and then the 40-120 red load will be next.

Justin, thanks for doing this video. I will be sure to post this for other flyers.

We expect these to be certified and available for sale within 30 days.

Well there was one thing that we didn't really display at NARCON: (from left to right: 24/60 black max, blue thunder and redline)

ATGM · Feb 28, 2017

Here is the 2017 Launch Schedule for RCS:

dhbarr · Feb 28, 2017

These will be 10 second delays, pretty good on the designations too

Yeah we got a text inquiring if we would be there, it's not too far from here so let's go fly. I will have some new things to...research.

BEC · Feb 28, 2017

Charlie,

Hope to meet you at NSL in Alamogordo in May. I am most interested in 18, 24 and 29mm motors, both SU and reloads. Lots of good stuff happening here, that's for sure.

BTW, lots of people are out of EconoMax F44-4s and 8s. Is there another batch in the pipeline?

Thanks.

Flyfalcons · Feb 28, 2017

Yes, those F44s have brought some fun to our small field!

[video=youtube;eokcNB-B000]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eokcNB-B000[/video]

BEC · Feb 28, 2017

Yes.....coming across that video is one of the reasons I brought it up. I have some -8s on hand but putting them in what I would put them in would push the limits at the Raceway unless it was very calm....so I've been trying to think of what makes sense for the -4s. Maybe my Leviathan or Ventris or maybe even the upscale Nova Payloader (with one of the Estes 29/24mm adapters).

Bernard,

It will be great to meet you at NSL, that launch is a sleeper in my opinion. The F44s are being produced, most dealers should have them. You can inbox me if you need additional help finding them, I would be happy to do so. Look forward to seeing you out there!

Lowpuller · Mar 2, 2017

AT,

Thank you for the reply.

Quick question - any special tips/tricks/advice for using the DMS motors? I've flown CTI so far and I will have some large DMS motors on the way soon. It looks like the DMS acts a lot like a CTI but without the case - just a matter of drill the delay and stick it in the rocket, yes?

You got it. Drill it and stick it. Less fuss than a CTI load. But you have to have the Universal Delay Drilling Tool for the DMS. The ones for RMS reloads will not work.

Don't forget the black powder

, but pretty much, yes.
