Hello everyone,
Just ordered a LOC IV and will be attempting a Level 1 flight next month in Lucerne Lake!
I want to fly it on an H motor and want to go with the safest and single-use option for this flight. I was thinking Aerotech H100W-14A but not sure if it would handle it well. Especially...
I recently bought the Aerotech Cheetah and do not want to use the engine hook. Instead, I am using an Estes motor retainer. The Aerotech instructions say to slide the thrust ring till it hits the motor hook’s end. Can I get rid of the thrust ring or do I need to use the motor retainer?
Got my L2 over the weekend with Tripoli North Texas! Great time launching and meeting folks. Here’s video of the flight:
Flight details in the video description.
Well the storm is about 5 hours away. Building with my new rocket kitchen set. It’s overkill but it works great for multiple rockets. Currently, I have 4 in various stages.
Scratch True Value Rocket
Estes Doorknob
MadCow Jayhawk
Scratch Stego-rocket on 29mm
My Aerotech G force took a nose dive today due to my fault. I hadn’t flown it in 5 years and forgot it came with a heat dissipating metal sponge and baffle. I loaded dog barf and sent it on it’s merry way with a G74. It went up beautifully but didn’t have enough force to pop open and ate it big...
Hey folks,
I am scaling down a tad, keeping everything except 98mm stuff and two reloads that I won't use.
I have:
98mm Loki hardware consisting of:
98mm Nozzle carrier
.688 throat graphite nozzle for carrier (for the 2 grain 5kns case) fired 3 times
Full diameter graphite nozzle, 1 inch...
There is only one Aerotech reload for the for 38/1320 hardware, the J510. Everyone who has reported, praises the motor. But how many J510s do you burn? Or do you use adapters for 38/1080 and 38/720 reloads to expand the usefulness of the hardware? Or did you buy the case just so you had a full...
For those who want to get an Aerotech 18/20 RMS now is a good time. Hobbylinc has them on sale for $20.39. The D13 is a great motor for small, heavy rockets.

Good day everyone,
I'm currently designing parts for two MPR/HPR projects and I'm wondering if anyone could provide me with dimensions for Aerotech SU motors. I understand that a 29x124 motor has a 29 mm casing diameter and a 124 mm overall length, but what about the nozzle diameter and length...
