Yes, my reference for the large models is either the Aerotech G-12 32mm reload or G-12 single use 29mm motor they are trying to certify if they can keep temps low enough. 8 or 12 second burn time, about 5 pounds spike off the pad for a second, 2.5-3 pounds sustained thrust. Lower average thrust won't work for me for these sizes of a model with weight ready to fly of 27 oz or so assuming that includes a 4.5oz to 5 .5 ounce motor.
For people with more standard pod and boom type gliders where the motor is mounted on the cg so cg shift isn't so important, the weight may not matter and smaller average thrust may be fine. Can you answer for your 120G008 weight is before and after burn and what your pad kick thrust actually is in lb/oz or whatever? Quote:

It sounds like you are covered. the promass is 62g. The casemass is approximately 40g. It is phenolic. They are no longer certified. My lack of certification is political not willingness. My membership status is "denied". I have plenty of them and I am thinking they will be among our DOT exempt line in a few months. The G008 is a truly awesome motor as is the 38mm H25. I have had a few boxes of motors ready for cert since a little after 1994. The ones I already submitted ended up at private sport launches in NV where they were intended to be tested that year. For TRA/NAR.

that would be an interesting motor but sounds like you don't have any plans on making those are getting them recertified?

I LIKE the NO CERTIFICATION attitude. Sounds like a cool Super-Roc motor.

Yes

Jerry, Yes, I would if such a product was available for a different type of flight model. In the past Jet-x was available, also Rapiers for airplane model use. You can't find anything for them anymore. Have you thought about adding a whole new market to your product line? Mike |

EXACTLY ! And, if I show up at a launch with a 1970 dated Estes B6-4, it's completely ok, because the motor type is still certified. But no Enerjets, SSRS, no longer produced Aerotech, or my huge stock of Kosdon reloads.... Go figure. AL |

not so sure about that
Quote:
I thought that "certification" also involved some requirement for the motor to be currently commonly available so as not to give some hoarder an unfair advantage.

Yes, Jerry has left the building.
It's something unpredictable but in the end it's right. I hope you had the time of your life. |
