Getting back into model rockets but this time I am using OpenRocket to design and build my own. I have never used anything but Estes single use motors. I fully expect my upcoming projects to lead me into reloadable motors. I think my first casing will be the AeroTech 24/40 (still learning about the reloads). My questions is this, do these reloadable casing work in the standard single use mounts. That is to say do you still use the same motor block and engine hook. Most of mine are made for both D and E motors. You just remove the spacer to use a E motor. I don’t know if you have to make the mount differently when using a reload casing rather than the single use motor.
Also I have not found any information on how much powder is in the ejection charge for Estes D and E motors. Do the reload motors have larger ejection charges? I figure this will become a factor as my designs get larger but don't know how to compair to single use D and E motors that I am familiar with.
Thanks
Steve
