There are already cases and loads for rocket gliders; the Aerotech RC line of RMS engines in 24 and 32mm. Would there be any interest in an 18mm reload/case? Since these are designed to work without a delay or ejection charge, I'm thinking that a "regular" 18mm case would work, with a new end closure, otherwise a case made like the other RC cases would be prohibitively expensive.
 
OK, so it wasn't *that* crazy of an idea. Wasn't aware of these. Looking through the AT instruction sheets, they "suggest" plugging a standard forward closure with JB Weld. It's good to see they sell one already machined. Too bad the reloads only come in low D and C impulse.
 
They are a special motor, given the low thrust, D2.3 for example you need to really keep your AUW to 5 oz or less to get a decent enough altitude to make them worthwhile.
