Show us your Casings!

[John Kemker]

I just got a Aerotech 29/40-120 for my birthday no pictures sadly.

So, take some! I'm off to do just that with my casings collection.

As promised:


From left to right:
AMW 54/1200 with Loki forward closure and Loki #24 nozzle. Currently loaded with Loki J-175LW Moon Burner.
Loki 38/740, with #22 nozzle and plugged forward closure.
Loki 38/480, with #16 nozzle and forward closure. Currently loaded with Loki I-110 Moon Burner.
Loki 38/240, with no nozzle or forward closure. Uses #16 that's in the 38/480.
Loki 38/120, with #10 nozzle and standard forward closure.
Aerotech 29/240, currently loaded with H250-G
Dr. Rockets 28/180, no rear closure
On the Kosdon 1", there is no nozzle or forward closures on any of them. The 1"-200 is on its way to @jsdemar with a nozzle and forward closure for him to make new nozzles for the rest.
Kosdon 1"/310
Kosdon 1'-250
Kosdon 1"-200
Kosdon 1"-35
LOC 1" launch lug with 29mm MMT ring epoxied to one end for a 1" to 29mm adapter.
Aerotech 24/40 casing, currently loaded with a D9-7 reload.

The Kosdon 1" stuff all have external thrust rings purchased from McMaster-Carr and the grooves machined by a local CNC house. @DabCat has another 1"-35 on its way, complete with nozzle and forward closure. I'm drooling over his collection of Kosdon 1" casings!

EDIT: As I'm looking at @DabCat 's photo, I'm thinking I'm wrong on some of the casing designations. I'm pretty sure I've got the 1"-35 and the 1"-105 right, but the others may be wrong. Hmmm....

LDRS 21 was the first one I attended, and I still have the t-shirt! I got this set from a good friend who was instrumental in getting me started in HPR and in making motors.

You may notice that one of these cases is not like the other.

The 1080 is mislabeled as a 720?

Ding Ding Ding!! Give that man a like! I wonder how many others there are of this set that are mislabeled? I've seen it before with other cases, so it's not super uncommon, but I do think it adds a bit more interest to this set.

My 38mm Kosdon stuff

Left to right: 38/2000, 38/1116, 38/900, 38/800, 38/640, 38/510, 38/390. 8 of the 390s are still in their original unopened paper wrapping.

And because some desert fire stuff came up, I just have to tease one of the most valuable of my collection...

Does anyone have any of the blue Dr Rocket LDRS 22 hardware? I remember seeing the 38 starter set in the display case at Al's Hobbies in late 2003 (Tim still worked there). I thought it was cool but I passed on it because I had just bought the regular Dr Rocket starter set a couple of months earlier.

A good start! That was my first case, too and it's still in service:



My paltry collection acquired through the years, only a AT 29/180 is no longer with me:



L to R:

RMS 852-1706 System, 1995
AMW 38/640
AT 38/180
AT 38/720, early production. I jumped on that new "Easy Access" J motor quickly!

AT 29/240 & RAS
AT 29/40-120
CTI 24-6G

54mm System showing it's age. Flown or not, it's been along for the ride to every launch since I got it:
