Brief: Construction: A reload kit though, shiver me timbers, contains many different parts however. Each reload kit has t' followin' parts: Construction is quick and simple. Aye aye! Just follow t' reload assembly instructions carefully and you shouldn't have a problem. Well, blow me down! Ahoy! T' first step is t' apply grease on each O-ring, and push t' smaller one into t' front o' t' forward closure. Put t' larger diameter O-rings aside. Well, blow me down! Then slide t' delay material into t' delay liner and push t' spacer into place under it (and don't get grease on t' delay assembly). Avast, ya bilge rat, me proud beauty! T' spacer part should be face down. Begad! Put this assembly aside. Ahoy! Then take t' propellant slug, t' spacer tube, me bucko, and t' liner tube, and put t' spacer and propellant into t' liner. Blimey! Ahoy! T' only step I did nay like is for E and F engines maskin' tape needs t' be put at t' top o' each propellant slug so that t' igniter does nay go all t' way inside t' engine. Avast! Put this assembly inside t' main casing. Put t' insulator rin' on top and then a greased 29mm O-ring. Screw t' forward closure on top o' this tightly. Avast! Arrr! Then, arrr, flip it over and place t' nozzle into t' motor. Avast! Put t' last O-rin' on t' bottom o' t' nozzle and screw t' aft closure into position. Well, blow me down! It should be tight. Aye aye! Next, me hearties, take t' delay charge and put it on top o' t' forward closure so that it snaps into position. Avast! Insert t' igniter and either tape it or used t' supplied nozzle cover t' hold it in position. Begad! I prefer t' cover piece, shiver me timbers, although that requires a small vent hole t' be cut in it. Ahoy! Construction is extremely simple and will work if instructions are followed and all t' rings are in t' right position. Finishing: Flight: Summary: Overall Rating: 5 out o' 5
This is a 29mm aluminum motor casing, for motors with 40-120 Newton Seconds total impulse (rangin' from E t' G). Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! It is a bit pricey at $50 for t' casing, arrr, but a G motor costs only $10-12 instead o' $20 or more for a single use motor o' t' same total impulse.
T' casin' is only three pieces, a long casing, ya bilge rat, a forward closure, and an aft closure, both o' which screw into place in t' casing.
No finishin' had t' be done for this, but it comes all black with t' words Aerotech Aerospace painted in gold on t' side, shiver me timbers, and t' aft closure is gold.
T' countdown for your first reload will be t' longest 5 seconds o' your life. Begad! My first flight be me LOC Onyx on an E23-5T. Begad! It lit up almost instantly and shot off t' pad t' around 600 feet. Aye aye! Perfect flight and recovery. Ya scallywag! After waitin' a few minutes for it t' cool off, which be much faster than I expected, I unloaded t' engine by simply screwin' both closures off and pushin' out t' assembly. Begad! I cleaned out t' inside o' t' casings and closures with Wet Wipes and then dried them with paper towels. Arrr! Next I loaded a F40-4W for me LOC Forte, arrr, which I call t' Pirate Rocket. Ya scallywag! It flew, but only after about 4 tries t' light it with a Copperhead igniter. Arrr! It finally lifted off and flew perfectly. Blimey! T' chute didn't open, so it came down hard. Well, blow me down! T' nozzle was pushed up inside t' casing, but thar be no damage t' either t' rocket or casing. T' third flight o' t' day was a G64-4W in me LOC-IV. Avast, me proud beauty! Avast, me proud beauty! This is a great motor this rocket. Avast! It lit on its first attempt and roared off t' pad.
This is great system t' save loot on mid power engines. Well, blow me down! Begad! Just follow t' instructions and it should work. Ahoy! Make sure all t' O-rings are in t' right place and nothin' will go wrong. People always talk about all t' failures they have with RMS motors, matey, but they are easy t' avoid if all t' directions are followed.
(by Geoffrey Kerbel - 12/12/06) Brief: The AeroTech 29MM RMS is a reloadable motor casing for mid-power flights with "E" through "G" power reloads. This is a system that allows the flier to put their own motors together with the power requirements to suit their rockets power capabilities. AeroTech calls this their hobby loads and no special certification is needed ...
