I failed to mention (for anyone new to the conversation) that both of these J reloads are over 700Ns and both
can be shipped without haz-mat by USPS ground service.
The J-474 Cocktail provides a kick at ignition of over 275 lbs that can lift most any Level 2 rocket with ease.
This reload
DOES REQUIRE the use of the #28 nozzle.
The J-326-LR will be replacing the
J-320-LR and it continues to use the #22 nozzle that all other.
If you fly at a remote field and lack an on site vendor, these are the perfect Level 2 Certification motors for you.
With the 38/740 standard hardware (#22 nozzle) plus the #28 nozzle and the 38/1200 case, you can fly any of 9 Loki reloads which include 3 of the four most powerful 38mm reloads. Add a #25 nozzle and you can fly a 10th reload and the largest 38mm motor, the K-627 Loki Red.
If you're moving into Level 2 and you are serious about 38mm performance, look no further than Loki Research.
They are now both listed on Thrustcurve.org. Thank you John.

It will be a bit before they get put on the website. I'm working on getting them on the shelf and out to dealers first. ;-)

On a separate note, in case it hasn't been mentioned before to you the reader, you don't need a minimum diameter rocket to enjoy the 38/1200 reloads to their fullest. In fact IMO, the best way to enjoy these motors is on a lousy launch day when there is nothing but overcast skies and cloud cover keeping you at a 2,000 foot ceiling all day long.
The best pick-me-up here is a flier with a big 8" Fat Boy or Kloudbuster type rocket that grunts it's way to 1,800' or so on one of these 38/1200 reloads. The motors do ALL of the grunting and roaring right there in front of you where you can see and hear (maybe ever feel) the whole motor burn. I think that is just as much fun as seeing one disappear in the blink of an eye. Those are the kind of flights that make those dreary launch days memorable for everyone.
Does anyone have rockets like that they fly?
