Estes rocket motors

[hakudoh]

I'm having trouble getting Estes' rocket motors in Japan. Anyone know when production will start?

Estes is constantly producing motors. I bet it's more of a shipping issue.

エステスは常にモーターを生産しています。それよりも配送の問題だと思います。

Estes just purchased one of the black powder production plants in the Untied States, the only one if memory serves. From what I understand, stocks haven’t really been affected.

I do know that they have been unable to produce 29mm E and F motors because of issues with the Chinese manufacturer of the casings.

Estes motor casings are manufactured here in the United States.

Wierd, thanks for the correction.

Do you know if estes produces them or is it someone else? Can I order the casings directly from the manufacturer?

The motor tubes are produced by another company who only deals in large sales (thousands/millions) of units to businesses.

I can't/won't vouch for the wisdom of making your own BP motors, but since your question was about the tubes... there is at least one company out there (maybe more) that sells tubes that are appropriate for model rocketry. Just google "parallel wound model rocket motor tube" and you'll be able to see what is available tube wise.

Be careful, BP motors can be rather difficult to make and tend to go boom or at-least make a fireball if made incorrectly.
