Sure, but since no one is left who makes these, you'll probably find it difficult to obtain hardware and even harder to find reloads. But maybe I'm wrong.Looking to do hybrids with prefilled oxidizer.
This does not include the injector plate, although the data pack does give enough detail to replicate.RCS carries 54mm and 98mm hybrid forward bulkhead setups .

The plan is to use these systems as "go bys" to get the students up to speed on how these systems work, safety guidelines, and troubleshooting. Then the plan is to design our own. Currently have plans for 3D printing fuel grains and a igniter/burst disk system. Have ideas for the injector but that is not as developed.Sure, but since no one is left who makes these, you'll probably find it difficult to obtain hardware and even harder to find reloads.

They are generally heavier, yes. Note that nothing prevents us from remote filling the flight bottle before assembly, it is merely not mandatory on these type systems.I know little about hybrids beyond reading and observing the prep of a dozen or so flights by the one guy in our club who still flies them (Hypertek, mostly.) But I'm not sure what the safety implications of prefilled tanks are. It sure seems more convenient than having to fill remotely, but on the other hand you are far away from the tank in the remote fill case. I presume the flight tanks of a prefilled system are heavier than the equivalent weight of a fill-at-the-pad system (especially monotube.)

mpitfeild- thats exactly what were looking for. we currently have the RMS data pack which helped with the dimensions and designed and simulated some axial swirl injectors. the bottle adapter that allows for the head on screw and pin is our current hang up.
