I just sent this to [email protected]
hoping I could also get some input here.
Dear Sir or Ma'am
Let me first say that I have been building and launching model rockets for quite some time, but have just receintly entered the reloadable motor by purchasing an Aerotech RMS 18/20.
I purchased the RMS 18/20 casing from the local hobby shop, and purchased a package of D13-7W and D24-10T reloads directly from Aerotech.
Being new to reloads, I wan not sure about assembly, so I read the instructions several times before starting. After inserting the delay charge into the liner with the propellant grain, I test fit the liner into the casing. It was a tough fit, so I cleaned out the inside of the casing, and tried again. It was still a tough fit. So I test fit the other two liners and the were also a tough fit. At this point I figured a tough fit was normal. I pressed the liner into the casing as far as I could, which is almost flush with the outside of the casing. I cannot thread the end caps on. I also cannot remove the liner. it is stuck tight.
I don't know what I did wrong, and was wondering if it is normal for this tight of a fit?
Thanks ahead of time for your help.
