not to offend you, But why did you use an estes motor in an aerotech rocket?

[krustyclown42]

Both cost and availability. BP motors are easy enough to get here in Australia while Aerotech motors are expensive and hard to get :(

oh australia, Sorry, here in the US you can walk to just about any hobby sstore to buy them up to "G"

@JDrockerDUDE I have flown A-L, I have a 1/3 scale nike smoke, a 4" extreme darkstar, and a 6" diameter 12 foot tall ultimate darkstar that will be flying on a Kosdon by Aerotech M1450W early next year. I just ordered two CTI K740 C-star motors and i make my own composite propellant, I have a 75mm Blue L motor that I made with my dad sitting in my closet. Don't try to judge me by my questions, and don't try to act cooler than you actually are..

Thanks!

@JDrockerDUDE Who asked you? I know if the rocket is light enough it can be flown on an Estes D, I didn't say you can't fly a warthog on an Estes D, I asked why he did. Obviously they are less impulse, anyone can look at the thrust curve, or even the average impulse to see that. I never said anything about black powder or composite. I know Estes makes black powder motors, and I know aerotech makes composite motors. I'm not stupid, I probably have more experience than you do with rockets.

@AerotechMan101 if the rocket is light enough wait it isnt too different from an aerotech d. only les impulse, and estes d's are black powder not composite. you sound really stupid.

people could ship them to you but once again here comes the price not to mention the HAZ-MAT fee. Still a good flight though
