    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.

    I have both ,but 29 is a good choice ,no doubt,plenty of good loads under 160 newts.F29s to G133 and small Hs.....great stuff and easy as pie to reload.

    I started out with a 3grain 29mm set up so that's what I would recommend. Having said that, I actually have more 24mm cases than I do 29mm because I have 2 rockets that are 24mm clusters. You can't go wrong with either but there are currently more motor options for the 29mm.

    Pro 29mm 3grain+spacer+closure starter set. Get L1 (if you arent) and then get a 4 grain case and a H123SK... FUN FUN FUN G125RL is a fantastic motor in the 3gr case. FAST

    Pro 29 3 grain case is extremely useful, and you can fly some monster G motors in it.

    The G54 Red Lightning is rather awesome. So is the H410 Vmax.

    Just to reinforce the point that someone else mentioned, I would purchase it as a starter set that includes the 3g case, 2 spacers, and the closure.

    I again second the Pro-29 starter kit. It lets you fly SO many motors with those spacers... From F's to Baby H's.
