I'm sure Edward will ring in on your question.

I agree it looked like a great system. Also Edward was very helpful
to everyone there.

That is a big and important plus in choosing.

Hey!

RATTWorks motors are available, mainly through Pratt Hobbies. I really like the Skyrippers for monotube hybrids (hence why I'm a dealer). They are easy to set up and always light. I was 4/4 with flights this weekend. Another one (Jordan's) didn't go because the big tank was out of Nitrous.

As far as GSE the club GSE works great - you can fill and fire from the pad and don't need anything extra. I don't know what you have as far as Contrail GSE but I've used the clubs with great success. The 54mm Skyrippers range from J-K and 24, 28 and 36" long cases and the reloads are reasonable at $20 per flight.

As far as building a rocket put the longest motor mount in corresponding to the longest motor you want to fly. In my 54mm I put in a 29" mount. That way I can fly the 28" SRS if I want as well as my hybrid at 26". I also just planned on a bigger chute because you'll have slightly more recovery mass. Other than that you might need a bigger fin span to bring the CP back a little. Other than that it is just like any other rocket, CP behind CG.

Let me know if I can help!

Thanks Mike and Edward,

Edward, do you have a website for purchases or how are you set up?

I do not have a website for purchases - I'm a little more old fashioned 🙂 If you have something in mind let me know and I can get you a price on it. I'll post the MSRP here, but I can give you some off of that.

Edward,

I would be interested in your price on a 54mm 830 (28") motor and the 2pak reload. Also what would be your price on the 54mm motor package (all 3 motors)?

In the interest of members saving a few bucks I would like to let NCR members know that I have the motor h/w for Contrail's 75mm K777. I am willing to offer the h/w to anyone interested in using it. I will also be getting the bigger tank for the 75 mm Contrail Ls and Ms.

FYI
