    problem with F35 reload for 24/60?

    I sent this to AeroTech, but thought I might get a responde here faster given the weekend. Anybody else see this?
    *************************
    Hello,

    I ordered a pack of F35-8 loads from ValueRockets in April and just got around to building one. The (possible) problem lies with with the delay spacer, which according to the instructions should be a black cardboard spacer. However, my pack has no cardboard spacers. Instead it has an extra o-ring, maybe 1/2" x 1/16". This fits the delay liner and probably would work as a spacer. However, it is not snug and required that the motor be assembled with the forward closure down. And then I can't tell if it is out of kilter.

    I need to either get confirmation that the extra o-ring is to be expected and if not, I need the two spacers.

    I think this O-ring is supposed to be the delay spacer. I know the F35-5W which is what I flew included some dark green cardboard spacers.

    Hopefully this will help:

    Thanks Donald, mystery solved. Just thought I'd double check.
