Loki 50,000 Ns FRANKENSTEIN Motor

[Kaycee]

I purchased this motor a few years ago from a club member who had plans of flying a full-scale Patriot at Black Rock. Unfortunately, health issues got in the way. At the time I thought we'd eventually be going to BALLS to fly this motor, but as time goes on it looks like that trip will not happen.

As I understand from conversing with Scott @ Loki, this is one of the first LOKI 50K Frankenstein motors manufactured by Jeff. It was also anodized RED by special request at an additional cost. The initial offering of these motors went out to TRA members at a discount, and few of these were produced.

The empty motor with closures weighs 36# (w/o the nozzle), the forward closure is tapped for 1/2"-13, and the graphite nozzle is full-width with the throat measuring 1.6". Also included is a 11" diameter, 1/4" thick thrust plate that was custom made for the rear closure. There are (2) sets of screws for the case--the supplied black (as shown) and also a set in stainless steel. I have set of silicone O-rings as well as (2) sets of liners/casting tubes for the motor that I acquired from Scott.

It is new and un-fired.

A thing of beauty... :drool:

Thanks, yes it is.

I'm open to offers....

$1,500 for one flight?! :y:

I am DEFINITELY in the wrong hobby, profession AND tax bracket. :2:

I SERIOUSLY doubt that I have spent that much on our hobby in 40 years of model rocketry... COMBINED! :shock:

 

[JDcluster]

That's for the hardware not the propellant.... That you have to make yourself.
The CTI Pro 150, will set you back another $500 or more.

Wow. I think I'll take up chain smoking and horse racing as hobby instead... it's cheaper!

Yes, and the CTI motor is an (O) 40-41K, not a (P) 50K

This would be SO beautiful rammed up the rear end of my 7.5" Iris.



I'll keep dreamin!

For motors of this size, this is a pretty reasonable price.

You could always go out and buy a train set instead?
It's cheaper and better for your health!

I've had several inquiries for the motor, but to-date no deal has been struck. I'll have the motor and liners at AIRFest next week, so come by our tent and take a close-up look at FRANKENSTEIN.

See 'ya there!

There were a few groups and individuals interested in the FRANKENSTEIN motor at AIRFest. Unfortunately, due to the high winds on Sunday, we packed-up about 5pm and headed to the motel to get out of the wind, blowing dust (not good for contacts) and much needed showers.

If you are still interested, let me know.

 

[ECayemberg]

Yep!

Take it to a machinist and ask them the cost to clone it. It would cost at least twice that.

The Loki FRANKENSTEIN motor has been sold. It will ship to an undisclosed laboratory for further testing...and no doubt, abuse.
