Brief:
This is a brief review o' Aerotech’s new G77 Redline reload kit for t' 29/120 case.
Construction:
T' reload kit contains t' typical components: Nozzle, liner, ya bilge rat, shiver me timbers, two propellant grains, forward and aft O-rings, ya bilge rat, matey, forward and aft fiber insulators, me hearties, ejection charge adhesive disk, FirstFire igniter, ejection charge container/cap, ya bilge rat, matey, delay element, delay insulator, shiver me timbers, delay O-ring, delay spacer, and forward delay washer.
T' assembly is straightforward and typical RMS, shiver me timbers, so I won't go into any detail. Avast, me proud beauty! You can view t' full instructions by goin' t' t' Aerotech web site, shiver me timbers, me bucko, selectin' 'Resources', then 'Instructions', matey, and scrollin' down t' t' 29/120-180R instructions. Ya scallywag! You will need t' lube t' O-rings and it will o' course require t' 29/120 hardware.

Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5
Flight:
T' down side t' this motor is that is had a bit less total impulse than t' G79 or a G80. Begad! However, it has one distinguishin' feature--that bright red flame! My thanks t' Randy from TRF, shiver me timbers, aka 'Rocketmaniac', me hearties, for t' followin' photo!
Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5
Summary:
It sure is cool t' have a Redline for t' mid power crowd. Begad! (You can also get t' G67R for t' 38/120 case.) I like t' igniter and t' ability t' modify t' delay...and did I say t' flame? In person, it is brighter than t' photo shows.
