I picked up a Partizon at the Estes sale and recently got around to starting it. I will get a build thread going when I get more time. Haven't worked on it in quite a while.
It uses these motors:
F26-6FJ
F50-6T
G40-7W
G80-7T
I did read a Partizon build thread on here but it didn't help with this.
My question is about the motor mount tube. It comes with a motor block like all the others I have built but this one is "optional". I have never used composite motors before. Is there something on them, such as a retaining ring or shoulder, that eliminates the use of a motor block? Or is a friction fit. Pretty sure I read friction fitting a composite motor was a No No. It has the threaded section at the tail to keep the motor from falling out, but nothing to keep in from flying into the baffle. This has got me at a stand still on the build. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
I know the 'G' motors are just over an inch longer than the 'F'. I would have to mount the block to accommodate the longer tubes and use a spacer for the shorter guys, just like in the Big Daddy. I want to be able to use both size motors.
