    Madcow 54 mm motor retainer ? Fibreglass LDRS Avalanche

    quick ? What motor retainer are you using for Madcow 54 mm fiberglass motor tubes ??? I ordered this one (Aero Pack 54mm Retainer (Fiberglass Motor Tubes) (RA54P) and it seems like I'll have to do a lot of sanding to get it to fit. It's for the LDRS Avalanche

    24mm Reloadable Hardware? CTI/Aerotech/others?

    I've flown almost a 100 24 mm AT reloads and recently tried CTI 24 mm. Biggest differences are ease of building for CTI but $$$$ is about $15 a shot, AT reloads are a lot cheaper One other thing about AT is F39's over pressurizing the rear closure and popping it off If that happens You...

    where is your forward delay washer and the delay o-ring ? I don't see them in your pic All these AT reloads require them It's even in the PDF that you put in your link Chapter 1. Forward Closure Assembly

    Delay drilling old school: 1/32" per second

    I've always used a drill bit to shorten delays even on single use motors I've also figured out how to shorten estes 24 mm motors ( even though its against the rules and you will cringe watching me do it ) the Deltie Thunder flies better on a D-12-1 than a 3 second delay
