Down these mean skies, a kat must fly!
Any word on when the next patch of K1103X's are planned to go through. I had heard "last week"... but still nothing being delivered to black Friday vendors....
I too am waiting on an order. If it is truly a manufacturing issue they need to set down and take a serious look at their manufacturing process. It is quite ridiculous it should take this long on pre paid orders.Any word on when the next patch of K1103X's are planned to go through.

I don't know about Rich, but I'm very interested in the M1955 DM. I have a couple of rockets that would like this load. I'm bummed that I didn't get to see it at the last LDRS, but would be ready to fly it at the next one.
Can't wait for LDRS at Airfest. Gotta love that Dark Matter!
Hmmm...Punisher Drag Race?
My question is when you will be carrying 38/720, 29/40-120, and 24/60 casea again. As well as any other case from 38mm on down. I have been checking your webstore and still only find 18mm cases. This question quite possibly has been answered already but too many posts to read to find the answer I am looking for. Thank you for your time.
Any further word on the M1955DM beyond its at Certification? I Have to order my M motor for SodBlaster II (Labor Day weekend) in the next two weeks to make sure its hopefully arrived by then, and really would like a M1955DM, otherwise its going to have to be something else.
Cool ,thanks Charlie, any idea on list price for it when it is available?I believe they’re testing it this weekend, should be ready for production very soon.
Is there a tapped floating closure at 54mm? I could sure use one for a Wildman Mach 2. I use the spaced system to avoid buying cases in every size, but I can’t figure out how to attach a shock cord other than to the forward closure.

And we are looking for a wild motor! I will look cool as heck in the GLR Nuclear Sledgehammer.$399.99 is the MSRP, looking forward to getting this motor out into the wild!
Question the 38mm J520 is it ok to use motor ejection or is other means recommended?
Thanks Charlie
If you read over the thread (yeah that's big task lol), you'll learn more of why there's a hardware shortage. From fabricators exiting the business, to backed up vendor orders, etc...
Most of their orders come through the vendors across the country, so it does make sense to try and keep them supplied as best they can. It's a small hobby with very unpredictable logistics, so some patience helps.
What about reloads? My local vendor (I'm in the northeast) has been our of basically all 29 and 38mm reloads (and single-use motors) for at least the past year, and a lot of my go-to places for shipped orders haven't had enough stock to justify the hazmat fee (if I can't get at least $300 worth of motors, it's really not worth it)We’re doing much better but it’s still a battle. We have a couple new vendors so we’ll see how that goes. So far it has been helping tremendously and we are getting caught up.
Wonder what happened to this?

Last time I talked to him he said he's had a large order with you guys since last year, but that he's been getting partial orders shipped, with very little HPR stuff (mostly TARC reloads and single-use E&F motors)Yeah there’s never been any issues with 29mm and 38mm loads. You should ask them if they have an order in with us now and if they do I need to see why a 2-4 week item took a year. Weird.
Hello Charles,
when will AT handle the CE certification and a distributor in Europe?
The next days of flight begin and we have no longer a dealer
which may distribute the AT products. If the CE certification is taken over by the dealers themselves, I could imagine that we can no longer pay for the reloads. We already had to spend 50% -100% more on a reload than in the USA.
Regards Ralf

So the hardware I’ve had on order with BAR since October should be arriving soon? I hope so! I need that for my L3 attempt!
My vendor just got these back in stock. It had been over a year.
Buy 2....
I missed Vegas ! Any pics of the pink motors or info ?

There definitely seem to be preferred vendors. It's hard to say if it's on purpose, or if some vendors were just more aggressive about getting lots of backorders in early.
Question - is preference given to orders that contain customer pre-orders or replacement parts? (For example, if I have a CATO on a motor and get it replaced through a vendor who doesn't have any in stock, will they get the replacement hardware and reload before other vendors get stock to sell? What about if I pre-order from a vendor who doesn't currently have stuff in stock?) Also, thanks for continuing to reply on this thread!Orders are typically shipped first in first out however sometimes hardware is spread around so all dealers have some instead of one dealer having it all.
Exactly why I say this thread has outlived it's usefulness. If I was the OP I'd ask the mods to mercifully euthanize it.
Well if Aerotech can't keep up with 38mm+ sizes, you can always go with no-hazmat Loki lol. The beauty of a free market and you support a smaller fish
They did a cool video comparing it to Propellant X:
