Where to Buy CTI Casings

[OverTheTop]

There is a dearth of CTI casings in Australia . Where do you guys buy your casings from over in the States? I suspect shipping will be expensive, but better than no availability. I need a 75mm and a 54mm.

Chris Short has 54mm cases, but it looks like he’s out of 75mm cases except for 1 6-grain case.

Note that AMW has a message on their main page that they won’t be shipping anything out until February.

They’re stored with the RATs. And face it, there is a dearth of a lot of rocketry stuff in Australia.

I don't know about Australia, but I know at least one person in Europe has found it cheaper to get hardware shipped to them from Sunward instead of going through their local vendors.

Check with Wildman Rocketry also,

Hi,

Based on the Wildman site, there are currently 3G and 5G 75 mm cases available and 3, 5, and 6G 54mm cases available.

Good luck,
Fred, L2

In UK and probably whole Europe is the same if not worst I had several parts from Apogee Components, sorry for going OT but why there is this lack? Maybe covid?

Oz rocketry is showing almost nothing in stock, and Altius Gold are in between orders for casings and motors I think.

Join Wildman's "Club" - that will get you about a 10% discount on all the motor hardware. One or two 75mm cases would pay off the club fee and, if you buy a bunch of cases, it may even pay for the extra shipping to Australia.

I have found CTI cases and reloads to be pretty scarce for a while now. I realize this doesn't help you right now, but the only real success I have had in securing what I want is to wait for Wildman's Black Friday pre-order sales and then wait months to get my hardware/reloads. I have gotten to the point that I plan out my needs for the whole year and save up for that one sale. Now, my planning keeps me "in stock" through February of the next year, which is about the time my next Black Friday purchases normally ship.

I get mine at Sunward Hobbies in Canada. Their prices are really competitive.

I live in the UK and have no problem ordering CTI hardware or motors from the official vendor here, Rockets & Things. Granted, the market demand here is very small.

I was going to suggest AMW. They must be taking a break of some kind.

Which 54mm are you looking for?

 

[OverTheTop]

Which 54mm are you looking for?

6GXL. I usually don't fly shorter motors.

I have some queries in with vendors and await the, possibly shocking, numbers.

Have you thought about using the hubcap adapter for the 75 in a snap ring case? All 75mm CTI loads are certified to be used this way, all you need is the hubcap kit and a nozzle carrier.

No. Either way I need to purchase a case.
