Thanks for chiming in Dr J. Threaded closures would be awesome. Any plans to make these for Pro38’s as well? Are they reuseable? Any info you guys have published on them that you could link would be awesome. Thanks!

In their description, the part that screws into the closure is intended only for motor retention. I would guess that the plastic closure would not hold up to the stress of a hard recovery jerk (such as those that open…   Read more»

So why do you need the retainer, instead of just screwing an eyebolt into the closure that linked above (also by aeropack)?

Aeropak has taken the next step with retention and minimum diameter motors – see their website for details – http://aeropack.net/min_dia_retainers.aspI haven’t used them yet but certainly got me thinking….

Looks like it threads into the charge well of the plastic front closure (delay/ejection holder). Haven’t used one, but thanks for the heads up. Must get!-Ken

Ah, the EZI-65… I cratered at least 2 of them in my quest for L2 and one other besides. Great rocket…not much luck though for me with them.

2009 raffle prize win of a 4″ Mad Dog.2010 Maiden flight with a K500. When I turned the electronics on, theswitch turned in the hole. NO ELECTRONICS.An eight foot rocket seven feet in the ground.I have done all the rest…   Read more»

Take your time, Keep It Simple, don’t rush yourself or get “Go Fever”. I flew my L1 first try… but it took me 5 tries to L2 because of: A) I was way psyched and I most definitely had Go…   Read more»

I did motor ejection only for my L2 also. I regret that a little bit, because I kinda rushed into the certification, so much more that I have now learned on F, G, H and I motors. The electronics aren’t…   Read more»

Dave, I acquired my L2 last year and I am actively working on my L3. I used an Intimidator 3 for both my L1 and L2 flights. I did not fly it with electronics at all. My reasoning was that…   Read more»
