    Question Pro-24 or 29?

    I want to buy a Cesaroni re-loadable motor starters set. My question is, should I get the Pro-24 or Pro-29 starters set?? I only can afford one, so both is not an option. I believe The Pro-29 re-loads are cheaper, so I am leaning towards Pro-29.

    any reason I should get Pro-24 instead?

    Thanks in advance,

    What size motor mounts are in the rockets you'd like to fly with these?

    FWIW I got the Pro-29 starter set which has seen its first use in my Estes Ventris and will next be used in a Leviathan. Both have 29mm motor mount tubes that are quite long enough to use with the 3-grain 29mm CTI case....though the Ventris has only flown on 2-grain loads so far.

    I suggest getting the Pro29 3-grain case. It has a lot of reloads available for it in the G to baby H range, and you can use spacers to get down to F's if you want to stay low. The prices are good, though not as low as Aerotech reloads.

    Pro24 is intriguing, but I think that the bang per buck is less appealing... I kinda want to fly something really tiny on an F240, and there are all sorts of interesting motors (dual thrust, long-burn, green, pink) for the Pro24 6G case, but the cost is indeed fairly high for middling-sized G motors.

    At the moment the rocket(s) I would fly these with are 29mm.

    Unless you have a L1, you are restricting yourself. Most of the 29 2&3 grain loads are HPR. Most of the Pro24 6G loads are HPR.
    I'd get the Pro29 set and just get a L1

    There are more reloads for the pro 29.

    My rockets usually fly naked. If they survive, they earn their paint.
