thanx! no, no build thread, this was 8 years ago.. :) Man I'm gettin old!

Yes, they make plenty bigger, an N2000 would be a nice one to try! (5 grain 98mm motor).

Aerotech M1315W (5 grain 75mm)

was that a chuff? it couldnt possibly have burned all the way through the first grain by then so why did it chuff halfway through the first grain? or was that a thermite ignition?

@Mysticlambo

I didn't hear or see any chuff. Was this a comment from my M motor test that ended up here by mistake? In that video, the motor spit some casting tube out. What time slot in this video are you at where you see it?

N2000W

N1000W

N3300R

All 6 grains including the N1000W. Except with the N1000 you bond all the grains together with epoxy.

That was an awesome L3 flight. Do you have a build thread for it posted anywhere?

Just a fantastic video, thanks!

Reminded me of one of those smaller Iranian SRBMs built off the S-75. That was a huge motor. Do they make anything bigger?

[saske23b]

what motor did you use?
