38mm SkyRipper Systems Complete Motor System
38/180 motor: 15.9" long motor case with thrust ring
38/220 motor:20.25" long motor case with thrust ring
38/400 motor: 28" long motor case with thrust ring
38/580 motor: 35.9" long motor case with thrust ring
38mm System: All three motor tubes three thrust rings, and one complete set of internals

All motors except the 38/180 have been flown and well taken care of. Also comes with a three-pack of Polypropylene reloads and two loose polypropylene fuel grains and two loose PVC fuel grains. The nozzle has a slight ding in the entrance cone due to the fill tube exiting the nozzle.

54mm SkyRipper Systems Complete Motor System
54/550 motor: 23.9" long motor case with thrust ring.
54/830 motor: 28.6" long motor case with thrust ring.
54/1130 motor: 35.9" long motor case with thrust ring.
54mm System: All three motor tubes, three thrust rings, and TWO complete set of internals.

These motors were flown extensively and well taken care of. I have two complete sets of internals for these motors. They come with two gold orifices and two black orifices. If you've flown these before, you know how the nozzle loved to stick to the ABS grain. I have two nozzles that are no longer viable, but also have three brand new nozzles as well. There are two sets of ABS reloads and two spare grains. You need three to make a complete motor. Also included are turned PVC adapters so that you can cut a piece of PVC pipe to use as a fuel grain. I flew these a lot with the custom adapters as research motors.

I'm including a bag of o-rings as well as the fill tubes for the 54mm motors. I will not be shipping any of the APCP preheater grains. You will need to provide brass ferrules and other bits as required - if you fly hybrids you will likely have the components in your range box(es).

Selling as an entire lot, make an offer before they go back in the Disney vault forever!

I would love to get into hybrids and this looks like a good way to do it. But I have no idea what I am looking at, or how much it's worth. Likely more than I have to spend.
 
A set of 54mm motors just sold that had a one set of cases, one set of internals, one nozzle and nine reloads. That price was $350. This set has two full sets of internals and three nozzles and only two reloads. Plus the entire 38mm lineup as well.

Ahh. So yeah, way out of my price range. Very nice and intriguing. Thanks.
 
BUMP, needing to move these motors to make space for new ones. Looking to have them sold by end of October 2019.
 
Does this system require GSE or is a pre-fill system where it just then gets loaded in like a regular reload? If its pre-fill then I may be interested in just the 38mm stuff.
