Not sure what they're referring to in the statement "The first batch also includes the AeroTech motor clip to make flying F and G single use easy." What' does "first batch" mean, as I assume this uses 24mm composite motors despite the engines listed below being 18mm BP?

I think the recommended engines are incorrect. My Cool Spool has a 29mm motor mount and chute recovery.
Loc has a larger spool, much more expensive. Don't think they have a smaller one.
EDIT: Make that HAD a larger one. And the copy on eRockets page is a verbatim one from the Loc website. So 29mm motors, 24mm with adapter. Maybe first batch of the re-issue has the older motor clips, newer ones have retainers?

Makes sense, thanks for the clarification kuririn.
