That's good to know. Thanks Warren. Can you get threaded closures for the Pro54, Pro75 and Pro98 hardware?

I planned to use an eyebolt threaded to the motor closure as a back up, but I didn't think having a single attachment point was appropriate for a large rocket.

What method do you guys prefer for high performance designs of 4" diameter or more? My preferred method is to use a kevlar strap and epoxy each end on opposite sides of the motor mount tube. The str...

no you don't, you sold it to me already 😉

Oh yes, the rocket will have a 98mm mount. That is NOT in question. I was just debating actually using a 98mm load vs a 75 for the actual L3 flight. I learned very early on that the biggest mount y...

Yes Bruce, flown plenty of stuff up through K's. Never flown an L but only because I haven't come to terms with a tracker yet. I have an almost complete 3" all glass DD bird that I plan to fly my fi...

Anyone tried one of these? Am I properly understanding that this creates a vacuum from my air compressor?

Bruce (or anyone else who has built a 5" PR kit) - Did you use an aero-pack retainer on either of your 5" PR kits? It says the flanged version requires 5" of clearance to install and I want to make ...

The hardware costing more makes sense, I think. I was just trying to decide if I wanted to look at paying $80-$100 more just to fly a 98 for my L3. Looks like I'll be looking for a 98-75 adapter ins...

Staying along the lines of my research for a L3 project, I have been looking at motor options. Why is it that 98mm reloads are so much more expensive than an equivlent 75mm load? For example, the Pr...

Art - Is that just the reload kit or is it the motor hardware?

Great launch yesterday guys. Man it was good to be out there flying again. It was a bit chilly, but the lack of wind was worth it. Really enjoyed getting out to see those who made it and see some m...

You got off easy Mr. Evans. Rumor has it that somewhere along the way on Saturday I agreed to take custody of your rockets' 5" brother. 😯 Actually, thanks to JW for making the deals too good to pas...

I'll have fun with it, no doubt. I enjoy the planning and building aspect of this hobby as much as anything, so there's no pressure for me to rush it. That's why I made this post in the first place....

There is obviously alot to think about when deciding on how to go about building a L3 project. I wondering what some of you have given consideration to, what you learned, what you might have done diff...
