This has to be a mistake, right? Shouldn't this be 5-7 seconds?
What rail lengths are these rail exit velocities spec at?
might be a good idea to send a contact report to TC (or John Coker iirc, hes one of the guys behind TC).
Okay I just had a teachable moment. Delay is measured from burnout and not from ignition as some posts would have had me believe.
Regardless, since it is impossible to drill down an I100 delay to 1s using commercially-available tools (yeah you could dig it out with a screwdriver or awl or whatever) it probably shouldn't be listed as a viable motor for this rocket.
Actually attempting to shorten the delay under 3-4 seconds iirc can cause the delay to fail allowing the still burning motor to vent forward into the rocket precipitating a forward closure failure, shortening the delay to much affects its structural integrity.
Typo. Well the lowest delay the customer can buy is a 7s. If they trim it to one their f***ed.John doesn't seem to understand the nature of the issue, so I spelled it out in more detail:
