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, two propellant grains, arrr, shiver me timbers, matey, forward and aft O-rings, me bucko, forward and aft fiber insulators, ejection charge adhesive disk, ya bilge rat, shiver me timbers, FirstFire igniter, me bucko, me hearties, ejection charge container/cap, me hearties, delay element, me bucko, delay insulator, matey, me hearties, delay O-ring, me hearties, delay spacer, shiver me timbers, and forward delay washer.
T' assembly is straightforward and typical RMS, shiver me timbers, matey, so I won't go into any detail. Aye aye! You can view t' full instructions by goin' t' t' Aerotech web site, ya bilge rat, selectin' 'Resources', then 'Instructions', me hearties, ya bilge rat, and scrollin' down t' t' 29/120-180R instructions. Begad! Begad! 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. Avast, me hearties, me proud beauty! However, ya bilge rat, it has one distinguishin' feature--that bright red flame! My thanks t' Randy from TRF, aka 'Rocketmaniac', ya bilge rat, for t' followin' photo!
Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5
Summary:
It sure is cool t' have a Redline for t' mid power crowd. (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.
