Hi Falcon,Welcome to the forum :)I would say go with the aerotech cases if those are your only two choices. They have more certified reloads, and a great visual appearance to all their motors. However, my personal favorite brand is…   Read more»

We get Peterbilt windshields that are seperated by strips ofsemi hard rubber. I glued this rubber to the sled and recessedthe altimeter. Not real pretty but secure. I will retain the altimeterin the rubber with a rubber band. The battery…   Read more»

I use either steel or nylon standoffs and make my sleds out of G10.Warren

Personally, I use Daveyfire 28-B for the most part although I also have a pile of 28BR’s… best ematchs going. Oxrals are also reliable. I haven’t used Mteks very much in flight, though used them a bunch for ground testing…   Read more»

Thanks

Hey Warren, I was just wondering which one of you were actually -the- “Web God”? 🙂 Great job on the site, amazing how far you’ve come in Rocketry since your first visit back when I was there. Awesome!!Take care,Steve Mashburn

My AT cases are mostly laser etched, though have a number which are not. In those cases they have a label on them. I’ve never seen any other motor with a serial number. My AMW, CTI, and Loki cases are…   Read more»

I tried hitting submit but the page re-appeared. I was in a hurry so I probably had something wrong with it. I hit submit again (and it reappeared again) so I just closed it out and went on my way…Doug

Excellent! BTW, I did not get Doug’s PM (via this site). Is that feature working?JW
