I know, another one.

3D printed a Mercury capsule, 8" base dia. So had to make a LES rocket out of her. She is 31" tall without the spike, paint drying. Weighs 30oz with no motors. She has 3 24mm motors. Can fly with econojet E30T or F44W. Someone said the F44Ws like to CATO, any others have this happen. Also have tube up the middle so I may expand motor choices in the future.

I would have to look back at my flight logs, I think I have burned 6 econojet F44-w and ignition has been my only issue. Using a good initiator and launch system has helped a lot in that area.





The f44-w was my first composite motor burned, and did it get me hooked. This flight was on a bt55 scratch build weighing in at 3.75oz, it took off in a hurry.

Great work David!

There are 10 failures noted in the MESS database on Thrustcurve
https://www.motorcato.org/search?manufacturer=AeroTech&name=F44
(only 1 since 2018). I've flown 2 with no issues.

I've flown a bunch of F44's my TLP Indigo loves them. Never had a problem with CATO's.
