The "M" is still available

[Yoehahn]

Most motors I bought are not usable, only got about $50 worth of engines for $160...

[cwbullet]

If it is the motors as posted, it is over $50. What was wrong with them?

[Yoehahn]

Almost everything was opened, parts missing, no liner on the J350, cracked liner on the I600, grains too swollen for use in some cases and black powder all over most of the motors cause the container opened. Ended up with 3 useable loads for the 29/40-120, 1 useable load for the 29/120 and that's pretty much it. Everything else was damaged or missing parts

[cwbullet]

I am glad I did not buy the M.

[Yoehahn]

I was about to.

[Yoehahn]

Motors actually received:
I600R (liner had a 4" crack at least, all the way through and black powder spilled everywhere in the bag rendering most O-rings next to useless)
J350W (folded bag taped shut with a single piece of blue painters tape, No liner, torn instructions and some parts slipped out of the bag. All were found except for one o-ring)
G79W (opened then closed with AT FirstFire igniter, J350 had a first fire jr so I swapped) Everything in good condition on this one (close to)
G76G? (opened loosely sealed with one staple grains look modified, one looks like WHite Lightening propellant and missing delay spacer)
G64W (Opened one grain almost completely swollen shut, the other was close but not as bad, Delay element swollen and bulging out of both ends of tube)
G64W (unopened)
G64W (also unopened)
F40W (Unopened, grain swollen tho)
F22J (Missing delay o-ring, aft O-Ring was opened and Seemingly put together, as the liner is filthy and the tube is starting to get burrs and fall apart. No grain spacer found)
E16W (badly chamfered and wrinkled tube, all parts found.)
D13W 3-pack (sealed but Loose BP everywhere- seemingly every cap opened)

Total price (wildman club prices):$198.38
Total cost of FLYABLE ENGINES: $72.39 assuming I can fix the E16W.

Price paid? $160 shipped UPS to my house, NO HAZMAT... just shipped as a regular package. All motors were inside a plastic shopping bag, put in a box taped down then that box was put into a box surrounded with newspaper and closed up with no other marking, just shipped as UPS ground with a listed weight of 8 lbs...

Not very happy.

Jrogers please respond to my PM asap

[Yoehahn]

The liner rolled off my desk and gave up on life, but you can see where the crack went to before as it is still where the chunk missing ends.


the I600 after I cleaned the O-rings, shook out the BP and repacked it in a ziplock(funny enough there was no centrifuge tube or BP container found in the package and a 1.5" slit was found at the top of the bag):


J350 moved into a Zip Lock with all parts from the bag found.:


One of the J350 grains... Kinda scary lookin.:


F22 Liner tube after grease was wiped off it (as much as possible)

It sounds like you already cleaned up the black powder. The powder can be washed off the orings.

Crazy Jim has some tips on dealing with older motors in this thread, I have a few like that and it's what I am going to do:
http://www.rocketryplanet.com/forums...50&postcount=4

To sum up what parts missing (from your list):
I600R (liner)
J350W (liner, o-ring)
G76G? (delay spacer)
F22J (delay o-ring, (?aft O-Ring was opened?), grain spacer)

I am pretty sure you can get the liners from Aerotech, they won't be cheap, probably over 10$ each.

If you PM me a detail list of the small parts (which orings, which delay spacer)you are missing I probably have extras I can throw in the mail to you (Do you need the F22 aft oring?). I hate to see a motor go to waste!

It is a great reference. I bought a couple motors that were less than perfect and this reference helped me.

I600R (liner)
J350W (liner, o-ring)
G76G? (delay spacer)
F22J (delay o-ring, (?aft O-Ring was opened?), grain spacer)

This is probably true. Unless the grains are cracked, I doubt they are a waste.

As I see the list, you need the following

Parts: Sources
liners: Local dealer, Aerotech
o-rings: McMaster Carr, Local dealer, Aerotech
delay spacers: Aerotech
grain spacers: Aerotech

I would email Aerotech or RCS Rocket Motor Parts. They are a good source for the parts you need. Our on field dealer has a lot of this stuff.

I do EX so I am fine on O-rings and liners and honestly I would have just liked to know that they were opened before I bought them, not after. Also I do have a cracked J350 grain as I was looking at it I noticed.

Can you post as pic of the grain?

[Yoehahn]

No I saw what appeared to be a crack in the core And I have been trying to take a picture of it. I think that it could still be useable tho

I was not trying to dismiss your anger. I would be upset also. Have you emailed the guy?

[Yoehahn]

I was just throwing that out there and I haven't received an E-Mail address, just a couple of PM's

[Yoehahn]

He has been online since I PM'd him and posted my grievances in this thread. I think I'm just going to have to deal with it, and liners are almost $20. also Checked my cases, I don't have a the 29/120 so I will probably either store that away or sell it something like that.
