Conway,

I'm very interested in their moon burners.

I know a couple of people have talked about carrying the line, and I'm all for that. Personally, I'm waiting to see if there will be real support locally before I belly up for new hardware.

Actually Loki has agreed with a new local vendor as to become their motor line and will very soon in the very near future be servicing Colorado with Loki motors. 😉 So the support will be VERY high. Thats what I can tell you now so far. But Colorado has a Loki dealer in the actual works thats for sure.

As far as collecting info..

Some of these are the questions that need answered. So as things come together the support will be there. What about after that.. Maybe if there were some sort of intro promo for x amount and you get this.. Like Buy 2 or 3 38mm loads and get a hardware set free. or something like that Or buy one 38mm hardware set and a load and get the 2nd load 1/2 off or free.. Just thoughts.. Things to ask for to see if they are possible..

Whole reason I am asking these questions is to help establish what the vendor and manufacture can do to help with the new line of product to our area as well as better service the hobby in our region.

I would have to say I would like to see this motor line do well as they make a great product.

I have a Loki 54mm case (can't remember the size offhand, but it holds the K350) and have burned one load in it. Expect I'll be burning a few more as I like the moonburners.

I have the Loki 38 set, and I love it. Honestly, they are some of the most impressive motors for their size I have ever seen. I won't stop flying Aerotech, but they are certainly a wonderful addition (and the I110 is awesome).

Well it will give one more to the variety of available motors to fly. What other products would people be interested in? they do motors all the way to 98mm and even have a lot more to offer for the research minded folk as well with Cases in 6" O and P sizes. All of which will be handled by the Local vendor as well.

So far a couple folks have chimed in would like to hear more.

Loki motors seem to be very nice - I've seen a flew fly and have been very impressed 🙂 I like how the 54mm's have the machined in thrust ring - nice touch.

I personally think that Loki makes a great product and as stated earlier; if there was local support, then I think many people including myself would take it and run (not literally, but you know what I mean)! The key to propellant sales seems to be geographic location, it is simple, if you have a vendor who is all set up and 100% legal then it makes it that much easier for the buyer to spend money without worry.

I think that Loki has a lot to offer the hobby and will soon have even more. I think it would be a great thing to have a local vendor!

I'd love to find long-burning, full-impulse, G, H, and I motors. I didn't see anything like that on Loki's website, though.

For those motors I think you'd have to turn to the dark side 🙂

I'd love to find long-burning, full-impulse, G, H, and I motors. I didn't see anything like that on Loki's website, though.

Actually looking comparatively to other manufactures in the G and H class specifically, Loki has about the same burn times as AT longer burn G and H motors in the same reloadable motor classes, AMW nor CTI or Gorilla have anything long burning in those ranges at the moment. But if you also compare the Loki in the same range they also have a little higher total newtons with comparative burn times. That should also give you a better thrust to weight lift off ratio. Per say like the Loki G80 and the Loki H90.

They do have a Long burn I motor with the moon burner I110. Great motor!!
Loki has some up and coming future products that will have everyone pleased Im sure. They just recently released their Red, Blue, (BTW Paul Holmes of TMT testing made point at LDRS when I was talking with him to mention Loki blue as the best blue he had ever seen) and a sparky load known as Spitfire. One cool thing about their spitfire formula vs others ive seen from AMW and Gorilla (and I like both AMW and Gorilla's sparky loads) is that they have a higher power/thrust and more total newtons for a given like motor. Most cases with others sparkies is lower performance and thats not the case with Loki's Spitfire.

Stuff thats up and commimg...... A W9 comparable faster blue
Larger motor classes in the N ranges
Larger moon burner motors in the 75mm and very possibly 98mm ranges
More colors. and an overall expansion of the line.

W9 comparable in just speed, or in Isp too?

Comparable in all.

That would be quite impressive, as I have never heard of or seen a colored motor that could match W9 in Isp (230+ seconds in the atmosphere in relatively small motors)

Conway, are you or is anyone else an official stocked Loki dealer yet? If not are you still planning to be? I'm interested in trying some loads but I haven't heard anything about them since Tim Thomas had a few for demo flights.
