Thanks!
Nike Ram looks like a sure fire hit!
That and a Classic Enerjet motor is as retro as you can get!!
They really look that ways! Looking forward to the new F67. Thanks!
My same sentiment on the M2225WS lift off pic putting the hurt on a 4" bird.
I was under the impression that we could register/buy tickets at any time.... But the Ticket Buying place says it has "Ended".
If someone will show me how to get a ticket, I might buy one or two and support NAR, though I am not yet a member.
You mention briefly that your new test setup has capacity for bigger motors, so what's bigger than your O5500? 5 or 6 inch motors on the market soon? Some crazy 2 grain 6in super thunder I hope...
If true to the original, don't forget the payload weight or it will be unstable on the Fs. Found out the hard way in 1971 with the kit and an F67-14.
6" motors.
Thanks for that heads up. Then again, the new F motors are lighter than the originals. If Bob Sanford is listening, he may want to chime in.
Someone should fly 3 of the F67Cs in a full scale 2250 replica to legally recreate Larry Brown's Enerjet demo flight at NARAM-14 in Seattle in 1972...I am thinking an Enerjet cluster in my stretched IROC might be in order. 7 x F67C's would be absolutely awesome. Wish there was another larger motor for the central 38mm that wouldn't wash out the radial F67C's though. It'll be fine on 7 F's......maybe Mini MWP!??!?!
Love the release notes on the ST motors being perfect for large/heavy rockets on small fields. Exactly our thoughts when we dreamed up the idea in the this thread one year ago. From an idea and an ask, to a successful product launch, to production in a single year. LOVE IT!!!
The J1265ST....WHOA?!!?!??! WHAT?!?!?!?! Where did THAT come from!? Yeah, I want to demo that baby at Mini MWP, please?!
DMS bigboy motors.....ahhhh, good to see single shot big motors again. I think this will lower the bar for entry for some that cannot/don't want to invest in hardware they might not fly that often.
Very interested in what "bigger" motors you have in store for the new upgraded test stand....
Big thank you to the entire Aerotech family.
Also.....I have an idea for that long burn K motor...
We seem to be developing a pattern of turning lemons into lemonade...
I will inform my boss that I will unfortunately need a large raise.Someone should fly 3 of the F67Cs in a full scale 2250 replica to legally recreate Larry Brown's Enerjet demo flight at NARAM-14 in Seattle in 1972...
We certainly appreciate the input from all of you on this thread and as you can see it occasionally results in a product that closely meets your requests and expectations.
If you want the truth, the J1265ST came from a batch of nozzled DMS cases that had the throats drilled oversize. So Karl B. had the idea of making a new motor that could use those cases, and the rest is history. In similar fashion, that is how the 38mm H283ST was created.
The DMS big boy motors will be expensive but probably less than buying the hardware + reload. It's just the way of things right now.
6" motors are on the horizon, I'll have more info to share later. They will be costly and are more intended for colleges and university rocket teams.
The K62N would be a nice upper stage for a K1265ST or K2050ST booster.
Perhaps motors of similar total impulse but more manageable average thrust.
Thanks, Stephen! Glad you enjoyed it.
Yes, it will use the Quest 35mm tubing. It is similar to the original tube.
