Manufacturer: Aero Pack

Brief:
T' system is basically 2 pieces. Blimey! Ahoy! One threaded retainer "ring" that fits over t' motor tube like a collar. Begad! Then a threaded cap that screws on t' ring. As with typical RMS stuff, shiver me timbers, t' RMS aft closure still sits on t' motor tube. Avast, me proud beauty! Begad! Then t' retainer rin' surrounds both t' tube and t' aft closure. T' retainer rin' is epoxied with high heat JB Weld epoxy. Then t' cap actually screws on t' t' rin' (like a top screws on a soda bottle) and holds t' RMS system firmly in place.

T' good: It seems t' be a high quality product. Arrr! Ahoy! I looked for imperfections and didn't see anything. Begad! Avast! T' installation is a snap, you just have t' make sure that you have enough clearance for t' RMS aft closure. Avast, me proud beauty! (see Note) When t' system is installed, it looks very clean and professional.

T' bad: For what it is, ya bilge rat, me hearties, me hearties, it seems a little pricy. Begad! But, if that is all t' bad, then it may be worth t' price.

Overall Rating: 5 out o' 5

I installed the 38mm motor retainer on my PML Phobos. When I attempted a dry test fit of the retainer, it did not come off! There's no way it's going to come off short of destruction of the MMT tube even though I didn't epoxy or JB Weld it on...but I'm not complaining! The Aero Pack retainer is a beautiful piece of equipment & worth the expense on any prized rocket.
