Cesaroni Pro38 and Dual Deploy

Hello All, Is there an issue with using the Pro38 motor without the delay or black powder? I'll be using electronics for the deployment.

Shouldn't be, lots of people fly this way. Remove the paper cap, pour out the BP, and plug the BP well, Blu-Tack is the preferred material over here from what I've seen.

If you don't want the motor ejection, remove the BP. But in case it wasn't clear, don't fly the motor without the delay element. It's a necessary part of the gas seal of the motor and flying without it would be bad.

There is a UK rocketry legend relating to this.... ;)
Also, don't forget the casing - it has been done, on more than one occasion!

It's not a legend.

Several years ago, a guy in a group over here called AspireSpace claimed he knew how to load Aerotech 54mm motors for a student rocketry championship. He didn't. He left out the delay grain, because he thought it wasn't needed. The rest is history :-)
Much to everyone's amazement, he got a PhD a few years later (in materials science mind you). Not suprisingly, he got nicknamed Dr Delay Grain.
Note: I was once in AspireSpace before I went over to the dark side and joined MARS, but I had left when this event occurred, honest :-)
All the best,
Richard

It wasn't just the fact that it happened, it was the swaggering "I, the rocketry guru, who knows all, shall teach you, the rocketry newbie..."

I dunno. It was at an NRC, I believe, or possibly the weekend after at the corresponding K-Lob. 1999? Maybe google can help?

Luckily there were no results, he utterly failed to light any of the handful of motors he incorrectly prepped.

That is always a thorn in the side of the "listener".

Occasionally in Texas and once in Alberta IIRC. Those instructions in the reload kit and the one on the case again please.

Use the motor-ejection charge as your backup. Set the delay a couple of seconds longer than your expected time-to-apogee, and the motor will pop your chute if the electronics fail.

Or omit the BP and put a dab of epoxy on the hole.

It's all outlined in the instructions (please read) and is certified. Epoxy is not required.

No it's not but I suppose adding the epoxy could be interpreted as such. :-)
