So I recently purchased a kit that flies on 75mm motors...
It will be my L2 rocket, and I'm starting to wish I would have checked the cost of the reloads before buying.
Do the 75mm reload the same as every other CTI motor size? (No individual grains and the sort.)
Does CTI do the certification special on 75mm reloads?
If not, I already have plans to fly it on 54mm motors with an adapter and rarely fly it on 75mm.
I would eventually save up and drop the money on it for a "once in a while" flight.
As you can imagine, I was kind of surprised to see that a 5g casing was $380.
Plus $27 per spacer. Then $44 for the wrench. Then $187-$330 per flight after that.
I know it's nobody's fault but mine.
I'm just exploring some of my options.
So... I guess what I'm getting at is this:
Should I suck it up and drop the cash now and fly it as it was built with 75mm hardware?
OR... should I fly it on 54mm (already had the adapter to flip flop if I wanted) for a while until I can afford the bigger hardware and motor casing? I definitely flubbed this up a bit.
Try to reserve judgement.
Thanks for any guidance/constructive harassment. ;-)
