As I've said before, I'm trying to be patient....but it's not working very well.
Thanks for the update.
added: When you have 'em, please send a bunch to AC Supply, too. (and some D22-7Ws). Thanks.

That's the way you do it...
So, I know ya'll are busy, and I applaud the many new certified motors... but any chance of getting a 98mm super thunder in the 98/2560 case? The K1999 is an awesome motor, but a little 'hot' for my purposes... the other 98/2560 motors are now seasonal, and money is often tight right after the holidays.

LOLz. And here I am still strongly looking to justify the 2 grain 98mm case so I can use those new 98mm Warp 9 grains in an EX motor. That would be VIOLENT in the most amazing way!

I wish RCS would make a 98mm 2 and 4 grain DMS setup. I really want to burn some unique motors and would rather not worry about the case being single use.
Last year, clearing out my storage, found a leftover K1999, probably 14 years old. Couldn't give it away. It's too much poop for nearly all our hobby construction. I flew several in my Mongoose 98, wanted short field recovery.
BTW, fly with a baro altimeter, because an accel altimeter won't trigger on the short burn. It'll just think you dropped the rocket or something.
The K1999 and K1800 have basically the same thrust curve.

strongly recommend going snap-ring. if you are serious about EX this is the way to go. need to be careful when looking at nozzles as graphite nozzles used in snap-ring motors behave differently than the single use AT nozzles.
as for cost, "inexpensive" and "98mm motors" rarely collide in the same sentence.

I sold all my big 98 / 100 mm snap ring stuff years ago. Dr. Jeff Taylor and Darren Wright said almost the same during a EX class in 2000 I took with them. Holds even more true today (cost). Though I can count on one hand the number of 4 inch loads I've burned in the last 15 years. To me, I personally would rather spend a few bucks every year or two for a specific motor that may not work.

@3stoogesrocketry you sold your hardware?! oh no!
Sure there are cases (like tools in my tool box) that I don't use much, but there are those times when you need them and darn your happy you have that odd socket extension, short set of flush cuts, or 98mm two grain case : - ))

Yep. Our overall business has increased tremendously over last year and we are working hard to catch up, including making huge investments in new personnel and equipment. We'll get there.

A great problem to have, congrats!
Is any of this affected adversely by the flurry of development in new motor types? I’d hate for our fantasies to be getting in the way of manufacturing and delivering product.
Not that we’re ever going to stop…
When we get busy at work and we're beyond capacity, I always tell my management, "It's a good problem to have...but it's a problem nonetheless." It's usually better than the problem of having little to no work, but there are pros and cons to both.A great problem to have, congrats!

It seems like every launch we have some college team doing 10 certification flights.

Not really. The only motor we have planned for actual release this year so far is the B14T.
Sheesh, I might have picked a bad time to have just gotten my L1...
Looks like I'll just have to pick some up sooner than anticipated.
