The streamer-recovered 13 mm motor mount not only enables flyers to use a greater variety of total impulse levels in the Red-Eye, but it also makes the "Retro-Repro" Red-Eye 'NAR-Kosher' at contests, since no ejected motor cases fall un-retarded by any recovery device. Also:
The Red-Eye's streamer-lowered motor mount should also fit in Semroc's "Retro-Repro" Lil' Hercules (see: http://www.semroc.com/store/scripts...s.asp?SKU=KV-14 ), since it also has a #7 body tube (both rockets' body tubes should be the same length), making this motor-ejecting tumble recovery model "contest-legal" as well. A similar streamer-recovered 13 mm motor mount with BT-5/BT-20 centering rings would work nicely in a clone of the Estes Streak, for which Semroc makes the nose cone and has BT-20 (instead of mylar BT-10) tubing. |
