I am currently building a Formula 98 from Rocketry Warehouse for a L2 cert flight. I would eventually like to try a long burn motor such as the CTI K160. I am using Proline 4500 epoxy for fin mounting for its ability to withstand high temperatures, but the motor mount is 12" where a K160 is ~15". This brings about 2 questions. Is it okay for a motor to be longer than the motor mount, and if so by how much? Second, I am using ~20' of 1" Kevlar for the drogue shock cord with a 15" Fruity Chutes drogue, the ejection charge will be fired by the e-bay in the forward section of the drogue compartment. The question is can I load the shock cord and drogue chute with nomex protection of both sides (e-bay ejection charge and motor), or am I at high risk of an internal fire? Also, I have already purchased a CTI 54mm J295 for the cert flight. This motor is pre-loaded with a motor based ejection charge. What is the best way to remove the CTI factory motor based ejection charge?
