Hello, everyone. I normally fly AT White Lightning and Mojave Green, but am thinking seriously about switching the CTI 29mm and 38mm motors. What are some of the things you like about those reloads? Any favorites? Thanks.

In my opinion, there's nothing wrong with AT in those sizes, but Pro38 is EASY; I have every Pro38 case available. If I were to L1 cert again, being a newbie and not wanting the stress of putting together an H/I motor for the first time, I would unquestionably go the Pro 29/38 route.
You just cannot screw it up easy (although I am sure someone will come up with that lone exception), and they light on the pad instantly--no chuffing, just instant on. And, the clean-up takes 1 minute to do--wet paper towel around the inside of the forward end of the case, and that's it.
The Red Lightning is very nice, the Classic not as smoky as White Lightning, the Vmax is a real kicker--love it, and the Smoky Sam like the FJ. I have not tried any other formulations. The adjustable delay is awesome, and easy to do. They might cost a bit more than comparable size ATs, but the convenience is worth it at times (i.e. when I want to fly more in a day, ease of use, or if it's an important/high stress flight).
All that said, I will not sell my AT stuff and still fly it as much or more now that I am used to building them (RMS) from 18-38mm.
