Cesaroni 38mm motors can be used the way you describe with a PVC or other spacer. With an AMW or AT case, not a chance. Personally, I own the AMW 54/2550 case which translates into quite a few K's and L's and some very sweet loads. Worth the $150 or so.

Actually the correct answer is if using a certified load/hardware NO alterations of the hardware or propellant is allowed. Such as using a spacer like described above. This would constitute running it differently then certified.

Now for research you can build a slug to take up space of other grains (yes even inside AMW and other Snapring hardware or even AT hardware). But why. Just use a shorter case. One of the reasons why I have just about every length of case in 54mm,75mm,98mm and a couple 6" cases. It gives me as much variety as I want.

Quite right Conway - I was just remembering the Delta II project I was involved in and the 9 CTI 38mm cases we had to scrounge for all the H motors and forgot that the safety code prohibits what we did to get that bird to fly. Cases are cheap compared to an accident.

If I bought all those at once, I would have to get Financing! (probly sub prime) 😉

Ah, but you could only fly them one at a time.

How come?? How many rods and rails does the club have? You cant count 5-4-3-2-1 fast enough Joe! 😉

I think I could be creative enough.... Staged-airstarted-clusters. I do have some 24" diameter Sonotube here... About 20ft worth..Could be quite interesting..

24" hmmm....

That's only a 1/3 scale Redstone. I thought we decided we needed 6' diameter to launch Art.

Your right!!!! Whoops what was I thinking? 😯 I will get right on that immediately... 😉

Here is a good one.. did you know they make Sono tube in 48" and also 60"

Friend works for them where they are made at here in Colorado. Man are those tubes big!!!

Now lets see... how many wraps of 6oz glass will we need and how many O motors...?

The larger the diameter they even get a lot thicker. so may not need any reinforcement. Or just take a 2nd one cut it and insert it as a double wall. I wasnt thinking of O motors though 😈 Maybe multiple P or Q hehe!!!!!

Why not just build a whole new motor? Make it a minimum diameter rocket!! Wonder what the safe distance for launching that one would be?.
Have to build a new case too! Like a 1524/9144 😉

Try 1524/125000

I'm a littler guy. I thought you could launch me. 🙄 Don't think I'm kidding! 8) You could do 1/2 scale and push me up under waiver!
