Discontinued motors/obsolete cases

[Mateo1717]

It's just came to knowledge that there are no reloads for the Aerotech 1320 case. I searched for more info but found none. Is anything planned or do i own a $150 paperweight now??

I just talked to my local AT dealer and he said there’s no motors on his current list for that case.

I'm just wondering if they will add something is all...there are several reloads dropped for various cases...some used to have 5 or 6 reloads and now just 1 or 2...it's Matt Benjamin by the way...good to see you at the launch!!

There was a discussion back in July. AT has stopped regularly producing a number of reloads. The J510 was on the list, and I don’t think there were any other reloads for the case. They said the reloads weren’t permanently discontinued, though. “They will likely be produced once a year or so depending on the level of interest.” See here for the discussion:

I wish I had the budget to snag one before they go.

With RAS and 2 spacers, I think you can fly 1080 loads. And you can fly as research with RCS grains.

That was Brian the motorman who confirmed it.

Right. So buy your J510s when Aerotech announces an order period for them. Right now, though, you'll have to wait.
