This is a brief review o' Aerotech’s new G77 Redline reload kit for t' 29/120 case.

T' assembly is straightforward and typical RMS, me bucko, so I won't go into any detail. Begad! Blimey! You can view t' full instructions by goin' t' t' Aerotech web site, me hearties, selectin' 'Resources', matey, then 'Instructions', and scrollin' down t' t' 29/120-180R instructions. Blimey! 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! Blimey! Well, blow me down! Blimey! However, shiver me timbers, it has one distinguishin' feature--that bright red flame! Blimey! My thanks t' Randy from TRF, arrr, aka 'Rocketmaniac', for t' followin' photo!
Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5
Summary:
It sure is cool t' have a Redline for t' mid power crowd. Avast, me proud beauty! (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, shiver me timbers, it is brighter than t' photo shows.
