Reviewing features of the Giant Leap Rocketry Slimline Retainers

[freddiejojo]

Hi folks,

Here is another "infomercial", this time in respect to the Giant Leap Rocketry Slimline Retainers. I tried to answer various questions and clarify the line-up.

Thank you,

After using all types of retainers over the years, I like the the snapring type for 29, 38, and 54 the best. I use a pocket knife for easy removal. They are thin walled so you can recess them into a tailcone or bulkhead with very little effort. And the price is right. This is one of GLR must have products. Tim Thomas L3

+1. And with the proliferation of narrower circle rings and shorter thrust ring spacing (Loki, Patell, etc.) you can now fly snap-ring research motors too.

They also work well for clusters. I have a 3-38mm cluster using the retainers and it worked out great.

I've been using these for years. They work great, all of mine are the snap ring style. They also make a very nice adapter to go from a 54 to 38 and others. Very simple and secure.

I use these almost exclusively. I wish they still made the Tapered tail cones, I just like the appearance compared to Ogive ones.

 

[Maxitout]

I have to agree with Bill. I have a tapered tail cone on one of my rockets, just looks cool. I also prefer that to the ogive style. All of mine are the snap-ring style, I started using those long before the threaded ones came out, just don't see the need to have 2 different types.

I like the Quik-Lock.
