That would be fine with me *IF* there were certified T boosters.
But, Estes used to make the shorties from the standard motors by cutting an inch off the casing after they were loaded . So, if 1/2A6-0 or A8-0 boosters are made in 18mm size, they could be cut to length after the fact. Same with A5-2 or A5-4's.
If its done at the point of manufature, it's OK but if we do it, it's "modifying the motor" and we still can't use them at sanctioned launches. |
