+1 for Warp-9 motors! I had an I1299 min diameter disappear on me back at Red Glare. Unfortunately that was due to a cato, but Open Rocket and RasAero put it at about 245 Gs at the estimated time of failure
Looking at the special 38 mm forward closer for the end burning motors there is a
approximately 1" dia male threaded portion on the front of the forward closer.
can anyone tell me the purrpose?

They are Buna-N. Most are available on the RCS store if you can’t find them elsewhere:I need to replace some misplaced (by me) o-rings. What material is used in Aerotech o-rings? They look like neoprene or Buna N. Are these acceptable materials? Thank you.
Sounds like a challenge. Now I just need a 1706 caseIt would be a challenge to get the hardware to hold together.

I've had no issues with the aluminum disk with K1103 and K2050 motors. Haven't noticed any excessive burning or melting.I believe the K1103X
The Enerjet line of composite motors was discontinued by Centuri in 1974. The Enerjet name was briefly reintroduced in the early ‘80s as branding for Centuri’s black powder motors, but fell into obscurity and the public domain shortly thereafter. RCS filed for registration of the trademark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in March of 2018 and received the official registration documents in June of 2020.Now talk about a concidence! I was just trying to recall the "Enerjet" name from my childhood, and there you post about it! I had just done my google due diligence and sure enough had found the picture that I recalled from my youth, with the mach diamonds and all:
1972 Enerjet catalog page from Ninfinger
So... what happened to Enerjet? Did it beome Aerotech? Go bust? Altitude junkie that I was them, I really wanted to fly those rockets (in hilly, tree-covered Western PA no less, dumb kid...). But by 1972 I was only dreaming, my rocketry had been forced to the side by some messy life circumstances.
ETA: Google helped again - Centuri Bought Enerjet.

All the regular AeroTech single-use motors will use the Enerjet branding, but only the no-smoke motors will be designated "Classic Enerjet". And yes, we do plan on more Classic Enerjet motors.Are there any plans to release more motors under the Enejet label? Is it going to be used just for motors with the classic propellant, or is there some other classification?
I just received the M1780 reload for my L3 cert flight. The bag with the nozzle and other miscellaneous parts is labeled as parts for an M1500. Looking at the drawings on the Aerotech website, they seem to use identical nozzle throats, so I'm pretty sure that I can use the parts and be fine. I just want to double check.

It was through a BMS pre-order.Where did you purchase the reload?
I agree I love the speed off the rail with these.Heck yea to the new Q-Jets!!!!
... white lighting Cs and Ds are awesome
I have them all in stock. I'll get them on the website as soon as I get back from NSL.Any idea when are the new motors are going to be listed on the Quest/AeroTech web sites, or/and distributors will get stock....no luck finding them yet.
I keep finding the F52 Blue-Thunder not the new enerjet classic. Also looking forward to the B6, D22, & E26 White-Lightning. Really looking forward to flying them ASAP.

Did you contact Karl at [email protected]?Any ideas on what may have caused my motor case to buldge on the forward end? Loaded with a J350W, same as I always do. I carefully removed all the pieces to ensure I didn't miss something, but I can't see that I loaded anything wrong. Any feedback would be appreciated
