CTI F36 Smokey



CTI F30 White Longburn. As much as I love the Vmax motors, the white long is starting to become my favorite. The thing just kept going. I am planning on sticking four of them in my Viper at NERRF.

One of my biggest fears is CTI 24mm are not selling well and would get dropped. When I look at what ppl are buying, I rarely see or hear of the CTI Pro-24's. I love them. So I hope that is only my perception. The Pro-24 picks up nicely where the 24/40 from AT leaves off.

I think you'll be pleased soon then. My understanding is that they have a number of new 24mm reloads coming out soon.

That the one you're using for your L3 cert?

Half of this rocket will be used for my L3, I built a lighter, stronger fin can to be used for the cert.

Hi Folks! Thanks for Gary for starting this thread. Great idea. For a while we may double-post on RP and TRF and then see how things go.

Great shot of the K590's. I really like it. Here is another one. Pro29-6G Green3 H159 courtesy of Greg Smith.

Wish I did... guess I am going to have to do it again at LDRS for you...

same here i love these little guys and try to buy them as much as i can because i have also thought about them not selling and being dropped. i might stock up on a bunch just in case

I've only flown the E75 so far, but it was great. Wind? What wind?

Here is the CTI K400G in my ARROW 4.

watched my first high power launch last month ( big daddy + f240)=big daddy on my work bench :grin:

P.S. why no 6 grain Vmax??????????????

I almost exclusively use the 24mm motors at the monthly CATO launches. Since I like clusters, I have a fair amount of 24mm hardware. I have 4 of the 1 grain cases and 2 of the 3 grain cases and soon I will add a couple of the 6 grain cases. When I built the scratch stealth thing, I opted to give it a 24mm mount just so I could use the 3 grain motors. Seriously cool for the smaller rockets I like to fly. I can't wait till NERRF when I can stretch the legs of my Viper IV and Heavy Duty Beauty, both rockets have 4, 24mm mounts.

My Viper with a pair of E75's

I have 3 3grain 24's and 2 6 grain cases. I like the easy load/unload of the CTI in the small sizes. Expensive, but not as bad as single use and more variety. Here's my Viper IV on 2 F30's airstarting 2 E9's. The motor in line with the camera is an E9. Dual deploy, landed 10 feet from my van :smile:

No worries. Pro24 is here to stay! As a matter of fact, there are a few more loads in the pipeline.

We realize Pro24's are relatively expensive, but you are basically buying a SU motor -- with a proper igniter. There is probably not a lot of margin in them for us. But we think they are cool, fill a void and are a valuable addition to our product line.

Let's have a round of applause for the Doctor!

An F240 turned my little cardboard MD into confetti :grin: I gotta get me another one of those :dark:

CTI Rocks!!!

G69 Skidmark in a Pemberton King Kraken


LOC Caiber ISP on a J354 Pro38 6Grain on its way to 6,020ft


My 25ft tall Mean Mean Machine on a Pro54 K1440 6Grain White Thunder motor!


Again but on a 6grain Dual Thrust K590 (one B A motor!)


Finally, my high schools rocket on an M840 on its way to 30,197ft! Soon to be flying a M2020Imax


Why doesn't Pro75 come with a cool sticker?

Keep up the great work CTI!

I have burned a few Pro38s, which of course is nowhere near enough for my purposes. Nice motors! Love that Green³.

Here is my Ultimate Wildman going up on an M3100 WT..Up was great, down not so(forgot to close the quick link on main cord to avbay:blush:

Sure was a mighty roar!:smile:

2 Flights from Saturdays Launch.

Fomula 98 - CTI K940WT - 6379'




PR 5.5" Nike Smoke - CTI K555WH - 5509'

Gary you stink...

I have only been able to fly with the boys scouts so far this year... I am so jealous...

Nice!

Planning on a K360 for my first flight of the 4" Darkstar DD

Click to expand...

How much does your DarkStar DD weigh ? On thrustcurve it shows 15lb DS DD that says 'no way Jose' with the K360 because of velocity off the rod is too low. There is a 11.3lb DS DD that is green lighted with velocity off the rod 50ft/s .

I only ask because I was planning to do the same thing with a Vindicator DD, but using only motor deploy with the K360 , complete mine is just under 11 lbs no motor.

Ken...GOOD QUESTION!

The OR file (attached) I attained from someone else looks fairly accurate and detailed, and it comes in at ~14lbs. Unfortunately, mine's not complete yet, so I'll have to render a verdict on weight a bit later

However, if one figures a 6 foot rail, 14lbs for the rocket...my sims show ~44ft/s off the rail on the K360.

Here is a high-speed pad shot with my 1/4 scale nike on a J425 Blue Streak

Thus far, I have only flown Pro29 loads, but I'm gearing up to start flying Pro38 later this year.

I am a fan of the Green³ propellant. This is my RDS Shooting Star (may she rest in peace) on an H159 (Pro29 6G case).



I also like Blue Streak. This is my Madcow 4" Little John on an H200 for the Pro29 5G case (my avatar, and my second ever high-power flight).



I also fly a lot of the Pro29 1G reloads. The F120 Vmax is really fun in the right rocket (so fun, in fact, that I haven't yet managed to be quick enough on the shutter button to catch a photo of it).

I am a very happy CTI user of loads from Pro-24 through Pro-54. I tend to use Blue Streak, VMAX, and Skidmark loads the most. Here is a nice shot of an I445 VMAX burning off on my Gizmo. Photo credit goes to Neil McGilvray

Love the CTI Blue Streak's, Here another J425BS, Awesome pic by Davide Reese.

okay Gary whats your secret i just cant get photos like yours to save my life.....great shot.....
