I have come across some "torpedo" swivels whose size and shape look advantageous for rocketry.
Problem is, I think these are rated at "breaking strength" while the ones we typically use are "load rated" which is I think 20 to 30% of breaking strength.
Does anyone have experience using these? Has there been any testing of various swivels for load or shock strength?
BTW I can't find the site that had testing of strength of high power materials.. Is it still around? link?
Thanks
