Perfect, thanks!I'll try again.
By the way, I'm archiving these in ThrustCurve.org, so you can see the cert. docs. for a motor on the motor page, but I'm still missing a lot of them. (I should have done it from the beginning, but...)

Kyle setting up our new Dewetron data acquisition system with an Interface 500 lb load cell this morning. The Wilson F/X controller and data triggering system works perfectly!

Apparently some customers are having problems using Q-Pics, so we made an instructional video.

I assembled a M1315 for a launch next weekend, abd the rear closure stopped with about an 1/8" to go. I know that some stickout is fine, but the instructions I have don't specify just how much is acceptable.

"It is normal if a slight (1/32” to 1/16”) gap remains between the closure and the case, and the grains rattle slightly in the liner after tightening." https://d11fdyfhxcs9cr.cloudfront.net/templates/170652/myimages/m1315_1656428712783.pdf
Are you sure you have the seal disk and nozzle completely seated in the liner? I'm not sure exactly how the gap is defined but this might be OK.

You could also leave an equal gap on both ends. Uhh, NO! Forward Closure should always be fully seated, at least that what I have always been told.

Thanks a friend sent me the same link. I guess I'm not on my search game tonight. Sounds like it should be fine, and as someone who's been bitten by a too short liner, I'm very glad that they've been making the liners a tad longer. I just wish the current instructions would tell you how much of a gap on the rear closure is acceptable.AeroTech Open Thread

Yes, 1/8” is fine. As you mentioned, we’ve been cutting the liners a bit longer to ensure that the forward seal disk has no room to move away from the liner. I will look at revising the instructions to note that a larger gap is acceptable.

That M-2225 is an absolute BEAST of a motor. Look a 35+ pound (fully loaded with the motor) to 9K + change.How did you like them?
That K-1800 is also a killer load, beautiful flame, tons of lifting power. I'm glad I bought 2 and still have one more on the shelf.

Any plans for more non hazmat 38mm high power motors? I really like the I180W reload but it would be nice to have a larger "I" reload available with standard shipping.

Possibly an odd request of the M-2225. Is it possible to reduce the propellant slightly and certify it as an L? The jump from L to M is significant on the safe distance table and the motor will be accessible to L2 fliers. Aerotech already sells several baby Ms for the 75/5120 case. Having a full L white lightning would be great for L2 fliers.
