Quick question on plugged motors.
If I have a D12-0 in a motor tube how much space should I leave at the plugged end for any gas to expand into on burn out. Can I cut right back to the motor block and just assume any surplus bang gas goes out the back end and if not how much space is sensible ?
I need to butt a motor up close to a bulkhead in something I am working on and it doesnt leave much space in front of the motor...maybe an inch at most. If it needs more space it complicates the design but its doable...would just be easier if I dont need it.
