Need old timers help-
I have an old AT 98/5120 casing that I used to fly in bigger rockets back in the mid-'90s. The closures are just as old. I was out of rocketry for 15 years and I haven't purchased a big AT motor since 1997, and wondering what's changed with these reloads?
I can see now the current L952W reload is only sold as a plugged motoralthough the forward closure on my old casing has an ejection well. The design of the new 98mm forward closure is different-looking than the old one and there is a seal disk now when there wasn't one used 20 years ago.
My question: Can I use the old forward closure with the new reloads? I assume I would have to seal off the end since there isn't a delay grain any longer. Would the parts still fit correctly?
Or will I have to buy a new forward closure?
