    AeroTech Open Thread

    I've used Aerotech seal disks on 4 different L2375s, albeit in CTI 75-4G casings, not Aerotech hardware. The seal disk is considerably thicker than CTI's forward insulator, so to reduce the gap between the closures and casing, I sanded down just a few milimeters of each propellant grain face...

    Using AT Seal Disk with CTI Reload

    Update here: I used a combination of 036 O-rings (1/16" thick instead of 3/32" thick), and gently sanded the face of one grain with 120 grit sandpaper. Not the fastest process, but the seal disk did fit thereafter. Upon assembling the motors, there was a slight gap between the aft closure and...

    Using AT Seal Disk with CTI Reload

    Thanks so much for the replies. I'm looking into thinner O-rings now, and I'll see about sanding off just enough to get the grains to fit that way too. Much appreciated!

    Using AT Seal Disk with CTI Reload

    Hello TRF, Last year I flew a CTI N5800 reload and had part of the casing bulge out after firing, right around the forward insulating plate. To help mitigate this happening in the future, I was told an Aerotech forward seal disk with the appropriate O-ring can be used in place of the...

    Sold 38mm hardware and Acme conformal rail guides

    Doesn't look like it. My LDRS aft closure has the splotches there too.

    List of easy-to-light/fast pressurisation AP propellants..?

    Greens might be the most notoriously difficult to light. I launched a CTI L645G at LDRS where it lit the igniter and smouldered for 4 seconds before taking off. My first 2 multistage flights were this summer, and to facilitate sustainer ignition, I actually prefer air-starting Aerotech RMS...

    LDRS 38

    Bob, does that mean spectators will be limited to walking within that parking area north of 80th, or will they park there and then be allowed to walk into the flyer area of the Pasture?

    Aero pack 98mm to 75mm adapter

    Have used it with an M1500 in a 98mm MMT. It wasn't a particularly aggressive flight, but it held up great.

    How to properly clean AeroTech casings

    Wet wipes are great for pretty much all the motor hardware. I start with those to get most of the gunk, and then follow up with a motor cleaning brush from Chris' (https://csrocketry.com/rocket-motors/motor-cleaning-brushes.html) with a cheap microfiber cloth ($1 from Walmart for 2) around the...

    Why does nobody use Liquid-Propellant rockets?

    Revolution Aerospace is working to make liquids for amateur users as a COTS system on methanol and nitrous oxide. Their primary source of updates are from Reddit, but this post was pretty insightful. Hopefully they can make it safe and reasonably affordable.

    Igniter Testing with QuickDip Pyrogen

    I got some QuickDip pyrogen (QuickBurst) in the mail this weekend, so I wanted to try out a few configurations for airstarting Aerotech motors. The final 3 igniters are in a small cardboard tube that I coated the inside with QuickDip to simulate "painting" the upper grain core with the pyrogen...
