You can also Daisy chain the extensions together, I actually flew a couple weekends ago using 4. My rocket is designed to fit a pro98 6gxl and I flew it with a pro54 4g. I had to make a special centering ring for the extensions so that i could actually screw everything together. Also, if you do this you MUST make sure there is a thrust plate at the base to transfer the motor thrust into the airframe, otherwise the rods can buckle when they are that long, and bad things will happen.
Good call. I believe you are saying that all thread only serves for motor retention, not thrust. I'm going to use the all thread for motor retention only; for thrust I'll put an Aeropack 54/38mm adapter over the motor case for the smaller motors.
