Looks like the weather is going to be okay this month. Hopefully I'll be launching my L1 Saturday or Sunday at Walnut Grove Missouri. Little nervous.
I need to do a full run-through of my aircraft again and make sure that I'm an expert on all the questions that might get asked at the RSO table, and was thinking about my motor.
The Pro38 doesn't have a rear closure. This is the procedure in my head:
Open the bag.
Remove the delay block at the front and drill out the charge to the right setting with ProDAT tool. I've seen some vids of this. Then reinstall.
Screw assembly into Pro38 case.
Load into rocket, straighten ematch but don't install till on the launchpad.
I've seen some posts about epoxy and stuff on bigger motors. Is there anything I need to do extra or worry about with a 3-grain 38mm CTI motor? Just want to make sure that I don't do anything dumb. I can't assemble it till I get there so someone can witness it.
