Thank you Max, and jadebox for the link.
So, I have some ideas, but not really certain what I'm going to do. I might just stand by and see what happens with the G8 before I do anything.
It's interesting how this is playing out. AT creates a really long burn motor for Joe at BPS Space. And, perhaps there were other reasons I'm not aware of. But, the motor evidently messes up the BPS TVC. The motor gets too hot, so the standard may need to be increased in order to be certified. But, the problem with heat remains. So, any kind of engineering solution would have to be for the application, not the motor itself.
I don't know if Joe at BPS is working on this because he's kind of radio silent on the TVC presently and looks like he's concentrating on the vehicle with the ducted fan.
Going back to this testing/experience period for the G8, I hope people do provide their comments and provide some details about their experience. However, I can see the possibility of some bias in this type of "testing". That is, some people really wish to have the G8 approved, and because of this, some may be hesitant to provide any negative comments.
I would like to set up an Arduino, a micro card reader, and some temp probes and get some numbers but I doubt others are going to do something like this. Kind of moot because I don't have access to any of the motors.
