8) I spoke with the Pro Tech boys on Friday. They have just finished a week of Cert Tests up at the Cesaroni Factory. Things went way better than they thought they would. They had hoped to get some 49 loads certified during the week. They were done in only a few days, so they pulled out everything they were working on and tested a whole pile of new stuff. Here is a minor review. The Pro/AMW 38 certs went perfect. These will be out first. Reds,Blues ,Green, and skids. They will look just like any other Pro reload, and are made to fit the Pro hardware. With a small adapter piece they will fit the AMW 38 cases. They will be for sale from dealers of Cessaroni or AMW. The 54 and 75 AMW loads will now fit either AMW or Pro cases, however they will be for sale from AMW dealers only. Also the V-Max Line of Pro Motors has been greatly enlarged. You can get them from H thru M, from 38MM to 98MM! More White Thunders have been added, all the way up to a massive 150MM, O8700. All 40,951 N-sec. ( BAD BOY, BAD BOY, what you gonna do when it comes for you?) Also the 98MM Moonburners are now certified. As you can see, a whole pile of new stuff. It will take some time for all of this to hit the market, the AMW stuff will be first. I was told they hope to have the 38mm reloads ready for sale in 2 to 3 weeks. (And of coarse the, Colorado and Utah fliers will have them first!) I will keep NCR up to date.... 8)
I'm hoping you have my M795 in hand soon...

Tim, thanks for your post. Given the barrage of new motors and all the manufacturers, I wonder if there might (someday) be a list of ALL loads from ALL manufacturers? An Excel sheet that could be downloaded from the website would be awesome.
Hardly a week goes by that I don't hear about a new load -- only to figure out it isn't "new" at all. I thought I kept my finger on the pulse of things pretty well, but apparently not 😯
It would be terrific if one could sort by diameter, burn time, NS, etc. You can do that, of course, in Rocksim - but there are a lot of motors that I don't know exist, let alone have .eng files for.
Stuff like http://www.tripoli.org/tmt/MMotors.shtml is helpful, but isn't always kept up to date and it can't be sorted easily.
Tim, will the 38mm loads be coming with delays similar to the old Pro 38's?
Also, will anyone still produce loads for the AMW cases? or do I have to replace the 2 I have with the Cesaroni cases?
8) The AMW 54,75, 98, and 150 ? cases will be the same. Same loads, same cases. Only difference is that CTI is making the propellant. Loads for these will not be sold by Cesaroni. The 38's are a different story.The 38's will be sold by Cesaroni. I hear the White Thunder and Red loads, maybe next week. Others colors to follow. We will find out soon as to the cases. I am told the loads will fit either case, but are ment to be in CTI cases, we will see. 8)
Tim, will Cesaroni introduce some slower-burning stuff? I like AMW hardware and many of their propellants. I'd sure like something that burned a wee bit longer, though...
The thing I like is Cesaroni is the ONLY manufacturer of APCP available to hobbyists and amateurs that uses fully professional manufacturing techniques and processes. Temperature controlled, vacuum de-gassed, extruded to a consistent density regardless of diameter or weather conditions. No other company (or amateur) does it so well aside from Thiokol.

Plus, their grains don't leave a residue that's hard to clean. Clean up quickly, and are ready to go again. Can't get better than that.
honestly i like aerotech choices for motors per case. but I was using Ceseronis all MHM!!
I think I launched 4 CTI and 3AT.... 2 of the Ceseroni were the Vmax I566, and the other was I800 Vmax both of which I feel would totally blow a blue thunder right out of the water!
go get the rocket... look for damage pull the sleeve out and put a new one in.... go launch again! couldnt be easier for a lazy launch day!
8) And your Pop too, After a late Sunday launch, I found your Dad's L2 rocket, out past the Windmill. It was in a small trench, pretty as you please. Not even a scratch! I was only 8ft. from it when I saw it. Boy, some of those rockets just don't like the limelight! I brought it back to Joe, we gave it a good once over, and the L2 Cert is in the bag! Congrats to Rob, on his L2! JamesR has the bird, we will get it back home for another flight another day! The Pro 38 J285 worked great! 8)
