Wayco,

Well yeah.....
Despite the fact that Thrustcurve says they will fit, and of course they are a WILDMAN rocket, which everyone knows are designed to fit the largest motor available, I went ahead and dug down into my big motor cases and pulled out the 75/7680 casing and fit it into my 4" punisher. There is room, unless you have a big drogue package.
The down side is that I have only one of these casings, and you know how Sharon is.....
I’ve got a case Sharon can borrow.
Thanks for the offer Joe. I forgot how many folks from our side will be there.
We're still a ways from seeing this motor available, but you would think that by August we could pick up a few.
Nothing beats a Dark Matter Drag Race!

Drag Race!? Wait....you mean you have a case that Wayco can borrow

I’ll be sure to bring it to LDRS even though I’m not quite ready for an M motor. Nice that AeroTech makes some Dark Matter in smaller motors.
The K850 sounds like the right motor for my 3 inch Darkstar. We can’t fly sparkies in Utah until summer. A Darkstar on the salt though sounds just about right.
Did you resurrect the Darkstar? Bring it to Airfest, lot's of Dark Matter loads there.

View attachment 372016 Wildman RB-05A loves H130W. Wallet likes the no hazmat.
Is there a tapped floating closure at 54mm? I could sure use one for a Wildman Mach 2. I use the spaced system to avoid buying cases in every size, but I can’t figure out how to attach a shock cord other than to the forward closure.
Joe
Why would you attach a shock cord to the forward closure? Sounds like a bad idea. Plenty of other places/ways to attach a shock cord.Yes, its called (click to see)

Why not use the 54 fpctIt's actually an awesome idea, that has been around for quite a while. I haven't heard of anyone having issues. I have two minimum dia rockets like this. It allows you to not be tied to a size of a motor based on the internal retainer. But each their own, there are a ton of options.

https://aeropack.net/min_dia_retainers.aspWhat are the other ways in a minimum diameter rocket?
What are the other ways in a minimum diameter rocket?
Yes.That still needs the threaded closure, doesn’t it?
Yes.
Are you building a min dia?
The Aeropack you can run their retainer with an eyebolt up to 38mm and still use motor eject. From there you can use their retainer with eyebolt up to 98, but no motor eject. there are also the spacers that allow you to epoxy in the retainer further up to allow for bigger or smaller cases. Non-minimum rockets you can use an aft retainer and use the bypass retainer for cord connection OR use the threaded top closure. Giant leap also has a line.
