My EZI-65 with one of my G54 Sparky motors. (similar to my G53 but with a little more propellant).

Its an "EX" load so maybe this thread should be deleted :bangbang:Nice! Who sells the G54 btw? Looks as if it'd be a good park flyer.
Yes. The G54 design uses a standard AMW 38mm Skidmark grain cut in half. Custom made nozzle with a 3/16" core.Do you just use 1/2 grains like loki or the I grains? I have some AMW38mm laying around I might mess with.

Not sold. Closest thing that is sold is the PRO38 G Skid and the new 29mm G skids. I do believe the formula is different with the Pro series but I am not 100% positive on that. I think the classic AMW 38mm skids have more sparksNice! Who sells the G54 btw? Looks as if it'd be a good park flyer.
Having just got back from a launch with many small CTI skids, I can tell you that they actually have significantly more grunt and noise than the AMW skids did in the same size. The I315 was less spectacular than many of the H loads that were flown. CTI has done skids properly. I don't think the sparks last as long, but there are plenty of them, and lots of noise.Not sold.

I designed this motor as a park flier, and flown it many times. Few times near Albany, NY, couple times in my Parents front yard, and several times at the school I fly at with the scouts. The motor was even used by AMW to do some tests but I don;t think I am at liberty to talk about that![]()
I think they're about the same speed, but with a higher Isp. I know the 54-6XL load is a K990 or something like that, which would fit that assumption (since the old equivalent was a K1000).Seems like the Cesaroni skids are faster than the AMW ones. Is it just me?
Yes it did. I think it was caused by the lower launch lug binding with the launch rod when the top cleared the rod.Way to go, Sparky...err...Doug!
Is it my imagination (or an optical illusion) or did your EZI-65 get just a touch squirrely right after it cleared the rod (or rail - couldn't tell in the dark)?
