Here is a scan.
Thanks
Here is a scan.
The Mother Lode has 3 75 mm tubes with 54 mm mounts in them.
3 x 75mm
with 54mm mounts installed in the 75s. Rocket was never designed to be flown on 75mm motors
When Ron introduced this kit there were no 75mm motors yet.
Nevermind. I found it. It says the Mother Lode was 3x54mm (although I would have expected 3x75mm). These larger kits were in the "Custom Engineering" section of the Loc-Precision web page back in late 1999/early 2000's.

I may have a special ground crew to hepl prep Big Polish Mother. Most old timers will remember the man Ross. He will come if he feels up to it. he is not in perfect health but will try to come to LDRS
As in Ross Of Magnum?
Laminate the motor mount tubes with fiberglass and epoxy. Then, I was thinking that you could wrap the three motor mount tubes with a few layers of glass to strengthen the entire assembly.
Then it stops looking like the original with three distinct MM tubes.
For the uneducated, a Mother Lode is a 7.5" behemoth utilizing 90" of airframe with three 75mm tubes in a triangle configuration sticking out the back. Each of those have a 54mm motor mount.

Where is ktesh?
Jim, Bob, Al (kinda reminds me of the names from the Waltons),
How's progress? Patiently awaiting photos, updates, etc. Still on track for LDRS in spring???
How much of the 3" motor tubes is exposed below the BT-7.51? 30", more????
Thanks and looking forward to watching progress!

Um, China
Wondering if ktesh has multiple handles.
Al, I'd love to see a successful flight of that project. LDRS would be a great time to show off.
