Ready for Red Glare 14

Awesome!

I'm picking mine up from Tim in April.

Here's my scratch built Astrobee-D (2.6 inch diameter), which I think has made an appearence in this thread before.
Today she's flying on a G54RL. A full G with a 3 second or so burn. I believe it is called a moonburner. The central hole isn't, central that is. It's offset. That makes even the teenie tiny e-match they supply a PITA to get in (as mentioned here with the long burn H as well). I wound up unscrewing the closure, removing the nozzle, putting in the match, then threading the nozzle and closure over the lead. All that mishegoss only to misfire (which with CTI is REALLY REALLY rare). I installed a self-dipped Magnelite (doing the whoel mishegoss all over again) and we were off.

Sweet! Must get more...

Is it that hard to get the igniter in there? I didn't have any problem at all when I flew a G54.

Guess you rock, and I do not. I just report the facts as they happen to me. :confused2:

Jeroen, I just noticed there's a 98-5 reload, but no 98-5 hardware.

Are there any plans to produce such a case in the future, and equally important, to produce more reloads in that size?

-Kevin

 

[GaryT]

Kevin:
I'm pretty sure that load comes with its own spacer!

More reloads are planned, but probably no hardware.

Gary,

That is the 5.3Grain M3700, which comes with a 0.7-grain spacer so it can be loaded in a 6G case. Single-use disposable spacer.

You can add another regular spacer to use the Pro75-6GXL hardware.

Jeroen

 

[GaryT]

Ahhh that clears it up. Thanks J.

 

[troj]

Good to know! Sounds like I need to get myself an XL spacer.

Jerone , any chance / thought of maybe a pro 150 2 grain motor system ? You could probally get a pretty nice WT load in the full N range . How about a Vmax single grain motor ? Will there be any more single use pro130's in the future ?

Eric,

We have Pro150-2G hardware and some loads that were developed for a small UAV. However, they are not very cost-effective for HPR. We do have some 3G Vmax reloads for the Pro150. We may certify those. But the market for Pro150's is very small.

Regarding SU Pro130's: maybe. Let's first see the O25,000's in action.

WHAT?!?

What would those even be rated. P35,000?!??!!!!!?!??!???!!!!!?!?!???!??!!

Keep up the great work at CTI!

I flew my first 'M' motor on my L3 cert. flight last weekend. Here's a CTI M2505 White Thunder (3G 98mm) in an Ultimate Wildman. I apologize for the lack of contrast, but it was a pretty grey day. Flight went great to 8650 feet in altitude and 874 fps airspeed in a 50 pound rocket. Looking forward to flying many more CTI 98mm loads.

 

[rocketgeek101]

Would it be possible to see more reload options for the 1-3 grain Pro 29 motors? Such as Green^3, Pink, C*?

Also, does anybody know if the Pro 24 1-grain motors require HAZ-MAT to ship in Canada?

 

[rocketgeek101]

Here is my Arreaux flying last october on a CTI F59 White Thunder reload.

Edit: Added a better pic.

First pic by Tom Raithby.

 

[troj]

Does anyone have good pics of a CTI 98mm White load?

I'm trying to convince a friend of a certain motor choice, and I think a good pic will help.

How about a video of an N-1800 white, would that help?

Kevin, Here's a still of the above flight.

Kevin, Here's a still of the above flight.

Thanks, Gary! Your video & pic had the desired result.

The plan is now for an N1800W, and I'm suggesting to him that we pair it with some I125W for added smoke.

Now, to start saving pennies for hardware and reloads.

He, I thought is was for a friend?

For our European customers: We had a CE audit today. We should have the complete ProX line CE-approved shortly!

Happy Easter everyone,
Jeroen

 

[troj]

A friend's project, I'm helping him build, and told him I'd provide hardware. Will probably help with reloads, too

Awesome news!

All motors have to go HAZMAT in Canada. Even Estes.

Fantastic picture!!

 

[troj]

Thanks, guys. My friend is convinced

I'm going to loan the hardware; his plan is to fly on an N1800 and four I125s. Plan is to fly at AirFest

 

[Jeroen_at_CTI]

We have a new reload ready for the Pro98-6GXL hardware. Awaiting the next certification session. Here is a sample.

Okay, I'm now very interested -- if that's a long-burn White, that might be an even better option than the N1800 a friend was considering!

Looks a little stronger than the N1200 White Longburn I dreamt of last night.

My guess? N4500 White Thunder.

Keep it up CTI you guys rock!
