... Then the question is how much time does it take to make a motor to make it worth while as a business and the cost of the surrounding legalities such as licenses, certification, etc...
Hi DonWe have yet to decide on dealers. It's a good possibility we WILL have dealers. Especially on the West Coast. We're just not sure yet. Most likely we will.
Rocket 501, if you're interested in motors in class "O" and above, you've come to the right place. We can help you with that. The last motors we manufactured were either N or O class motors. We made 4 of them. Two for Bruce Kelly. He used one at Black Rock Nevada. It worked very well. It had an integral igniter. We static fired two of the 4. They worked great.
So, if you're in the market for a VERY large motor, we're going to be your motor manufacturers!!
It took forEVER for me to figure out where I'd seen this marketing approach before.
If the carter/cpu tommy duo was represented by an SNL skit it would be the Herlihy Boy's Grandma Sitting Service:
Granted, Sandler and Farley didn't call people a bunch of negative nazis and belittle people's other grandma sitting services, but still.
This thread is hands down the best vaporware roll-out ever.
Five stars. Required reading!
Any video of the static tests?We have yet to decide on dealers. It's a good possibility we WILL have dealers. Especially on the West Coast. We're just not sure yet. Most likely we will.

I have both, of course, but I wouldn't trust it... 6061T6 isn't known for its ductility.A hammer and a hardwood dowel are the tools I would use. I bet you know someone with both.
Okay. I don’t know how badly it’s bent, but it seems like you’re not out anything to try. I would check it over carefully with a loupe or even use some kind of dye to make sure there are no cracks.I have both, of course, but I wouldn't trust it... 6061T6 isn't known for its ductility.

Yup. I would be afraid that it would fail and take a perfectly good rear end closure with it. And waste a $120 load, too.Hence the problem.
It can't be trusted..
That is not correct. It is installed at the pad or a designated area. The rocket is also to be situated to minimize risk to people. The rocket does not have to be in a vertical position.
Some model rocket motors must have their igniters installed when building. I have never seen a certified high power motor that needs that although it’s sometimes a pain to install an igniter in a moonburner’s offset core.Well, then some over-zealous pad managers need to be informed of this. For ease, I like to install the ignitor while the rocket is safely horizontal on the rail. If they see this, they run over and demand that the flier put the rocket vertical, bend over backwards, and fight gravity to install the critical ignition source. Dumb.
Aerotech hobby motors, and I believe some HPR motors, instruct you to install the igniter while building the motor. Nobody has a hissy fit over the rules on these motors. So, what's the problem???
I think the integral ignitor is brilliant, but the rah-rah sales pitch is a turn off. For now, it is nothing but vaporware.

I did not say it wasn't a good price, I said "$130 would indeed be a great price". Please read more carefully.So Mike, this was just a comparative figure. If you don’t think our L-911 is a good price at $130, then I would suggest you pass is by. We may even be lower than that. Time will tell. What I DO know is this. You’re getting your head handed to you at the prices you quoted me!
Not directed at you specifically...I think the integral ignitor is brilliant, but the rah-rah sales pitch is a turn off. For now, it is nothing but vaporware.
You invested in Carber Energetics or something? The only time I’ve seen someone defending vaporware with such fervor before were the bag holders for Nikola on the trading boards.Not directed at you specifically...
Ohhhhhh. So the rah ran sales pitch hurt some "feelings"
Again...its that simple... grow up and grab a set from your wife and take it for what it is...
Wow.
JSDEMAR. I have to admit. That looks very impressive. Plenty of gas and particles which is what it takes to light a motor. Are you saying the formula is a half gram of each boron, viton, potassium nitrate?

Wow.
We at CARBER ENERGETICS want YOU as our customers!
The motors will be designed as such that you could used an up the throat igniter if you so desired.
We want our motors to have integral igniters. That is, head end igniters. None of this up-the-throat stuff. I thought those were for Estes motors.
Any video of the static tests?
On their website next to the thrust curves.
This sounds like a garage operation to me. Give me confidence that this is not the case.
