TSP Rocket motors

[SkyLaunchRockets]

I was wondering if anyone had used TSP motors before, and could explain if their labelling worked the same as Estes, as I am designing a 2-stage rocket and am trying to source F impulse motors and these are the easiest ones to get my hands on in the UK.

All rocket motors are for the most part labeled the same, so these are labeled the same as Estes. But from the looks of it and from what I can find, these are composite motors, so staging will be semi difficult, and will need electronics and whatnot.
However, staging is still doable, and if you do, I hope to see it someday! Staging is cool.

Curious. Yes, the name still indicates F-impulse 40-80Ns and 35N average thrust.

Notice that one version is labeled F35-0, which would indicate 0s delay for staging.

These are not AP composite motors, but KP, and apparently are easier to ignite. See this thread for a little background:

Sierrafox says you can stage with these:

which apparently require this:

I dig the tape match, that's cool.

Oop, must’ve missed it

Then why can’t we have some kp motors over here? I want some easier staging!

Wow those are cool! I wish we had some, they look pretty neat.

Welcome @SkyLaunchRockets ! I don’t think anyone on this side of the pond has first hand experience with these woosh generators. Maybe the small group of FAI contest flyers have seen these. I’m sure everyone over here would like a report when you fly these puppies.
