New Motors Certified, April 2024 (Loki Research)

I would love that as well Eric.
Yes, Teddy will have some J-670's on hand at LDRS.

I am working on my L3 for a fall launch and was looking to pre-order an M-1650 CT and hardware. Do you take pre-orders?

 

[Loki Research]

@FlyBy01 thank you for your question. I take suggestions on what to make but not pre-orders in the sense it is known here. I make a habit out of not taking our customers money until the products they ordered or want are finished, able to be put in a box to be shipped. The only exception here are custom orders of non-stocked items, not on the website. The M-1650's have always been in high demand so I try to make as many as we can anyway..

You're more than welcome to send us an email with your request. When we can make it and fill it, we will let you know. When it is ready to ship, we will send you an invoice to pay. Sound fair to you?

I really want a 54mm M1378, I have the casing, but the rocket for it isn't finished yet... I guess I'll wait till it is 'in stock'

Thank you for the honest and great reply! I'll send you an email and order the hardware in anticipation on motors being made sometime between now and fall. My Club Prefect is a big fan of your motors and the high quality. I am willing to order from a rocketry manufacture that does not sacrifice quality.

Contact Scott; he might have some spares, after mine, of course!

YES HE IS! And from what I have heard, we will have a few new Loki flyers at BattlePark this season.

Scott definitely makes a great product, both hardware and motors.

 

[jimzcatz]

Damn I wish we could get Loki in CA...

I will agree Scott makes a great product but his marketing strategy and prices have caused me to cease all Loki use. Unless I get a great deal from a fellow flyer.

Woo Hoo !

The new 38-480 I-426-LB and the 54-1200 J-670-LB show as available on the Loki > Products > Reload Kits page.

And the No Hazmat 38-480 I-405-LW is available again too !

Loki I405 = the best L1 motor on the market!

I'm still holding on to my Loki 38 Cases and Nozzles in case I can travel farther again soon.
Also have AT 38 cases and a 54-1 Grain perfect for an EZ-I rocket I still have that needs some TLC again on a fin.

It's a Barker, and it can easily fly at Geneseo , at least the last time I flew mine in a 4" rocket there.

When several of us in JMRC each got the Loki Starter Set of cases and original White re-loads when they first came out; that I405 was the clear and still present winner.

If you can go a little over two hours, there's TMO and WSR to consider. Might be a decent mid-range for you. Just throwing that out there.

Thank you everyone.
Yes, the I-426 is USPS mailable unlike the I-430 and does use the #22 throat nozzle and plugged bulkhead. It will have a roughly 0.001% chance of failure if assembled properly. The main failure point of our 38's (when they rarely do fail) is through the delay column. This eliminates that failure point completely. They will also retail at $73. That's $6 less than the other comparable 38/480 Loki reloads. Using widely available and easy to use barometric/electronic deployment will ensure spot on deployment timing, every time.

I should get the instructions uploaded and the new listings for these reloads on the website by the end of the week.

When the DOT gets us the SP-7887 paperwork, we will be able to ship the I-430 without hazmat, but it'll still need the expensive, large hazmat box to ship them in. We'll have been waiting 6 months for that approval now, come the end of this week....

Scott --

Does 'USPS mailable' for the new 38-480 I-426-LB mean the same thing as 'No Haz-Mat Shipping' for the 38-480 I-405-LW ?

Thanks !

Yes. It has 8 half length "life saver" grains with 1/2" bores.
