100mm motor opportunity at LDRS?

Jun 12, 2004 3 Replies

Mark Simpson and I were going to work up a FTBOD on one of the EX days powered by a specially-made "shrimpy" version of my 100mm motor system. This motor works out to a 7100-M1300, and is 4" OD.



Since the FTBOD won't be flying, need to know if I should bring the motor on the off chance that someone else might want to use this as a power plant in their EX project--I realise this is very, very late in the game, but thought I might as well check.



If anyone is interested, let me know soon--I need to get the fuel grains machined slightly so that the nozzle and injector will fit-- my other batch of fuel grains is currently out west for Dave Rosses 15000N1750 attempt in a Delta Clipper upscale. The grains I have lying around are ever-so-slightly undersized. I won't got to the expense of machining them if no-one is going to be using them at LDRS.


Good to hear you'll be there, Marcus...

Bobby will be at the July METRA launch. Will you be? I can't pry a reply out of your prefect (probably hates e-mail like any intelligent person would), and need to make sure I have enough L2 people there. I plan to step up to the next level of rocketry expense then.

Al, I will be there. Ray (our beloved but probably non-e-communicative prefect) will also. For sure.
