MORE...SLIMLINE ADAPTERS 65% off..........More of Ed's stuff

[Giantleap]

I posted this notice a couple of weeks back. First batch sold out. I have whole a bunch more if you need them. Still available.


Next up is some Slimline 38-to-29mm adapters. As you know, these adapters snap into a 38mm Slimline motor retainer (or aeropac). The adapters have their own 29mm retainer built-in. The adapters come with a 12" long 29mm motor tube, a 29 to 38mm centering ring, plus the rear adapter portion with appropriate retention rings.

HOWEVER, these adapters are specifically for the hobby 29mm aerotech motors like the 29mm 40-120. The rear closures on these motors have a 1/4" thrust ring, which is smaller than on the larger 29mm aerotech motors. Larger 29mm motors (29mm 60ns and up) cannot be retained by these adapters. These adapters will fit any 38mm Slimline or Aeropac retainer.


Regular price $25.20...........Sale price $9.50 (heck motor tube and centering ring alone are about $6 retail).

Shipping is $6.00 total for any quantity of adapters shipped within the continental u.s. (pictured is the 54 to 38mm adapter, but you get the idea). I have 10 or 20 of these things.

I already have a Slimline 38-to-29mm adapter but mine will do both Hobby line and High power. This will allow me to dedicate that one to High power only.

PM sent, if you have any left I would definitely be interested in one. Love the Slimline classics - mine still seem to even work for Loki - I know they're not supposed to but they worked at Red Glare.....go figure.

Got mine yesterday and put it together. It seems to fit the CTI Pro29 aft retainer as well. Wish I had bought two.

You are correct sir! Just looked it up to be sure and these are High Power capable! :clap:
Ed this gives you an additional group to market these to.

what kind of 38mm retainer are you using?

 

[Worsaer]

Maybe I'm missing something... If I'm building a 29mm rocket, this is a really inexpensive, high class motor tube & retainer, Right?

as long as you are only flying it on 29/40-120 motors.

I tried it with an aerotech retainer.

If one has a metal lathe, you can machine off the inner "lip" that overhangs the motor tube and constrains depth. Then, by adjusting how far the collar engages the 29mm tube, you can fit whatever motor your want. This would, however, allow the motor to bear against the 29mm motor tube and makes your tube-to-aluminum joint much more important.

 

[kruland]

Wow, that's a lot of work. I cut the adapter tube down so my 29/180 case extends about 1/2" past the motor tube. A few wraps of tape around the motor and you have a block on the inside.

We're talking 2 minutes on a lathe with a boring bar. The section to remove is about 1/16" wide, by about 3/32" deep.

If you have a lathe, it's no problem at all.

Once it's removed, apply JB to tube, install your 29mm HPR motor, and slide the retainer over the motor with the snap ring in place. It's simple.
