Sounds exciting.
Hand drilling works for Loki motors too. In fact Loki motors are certified that way, and the method is noted in the instructions. We still recommend using the DAT tool because it makes it just soooo quick, easy and repeatable. Thanks again to the guys at CTI for making the DAT tool available.
Good luck with the LURs, really, something has to be done to get the cost of F and G motors down.

Correct, although I don't think the diameter of the drill bit matters much.

This should be in the manufacturer's instructions. That way whether you use a trick tool like the DAT for a Pro38 or just a plain twist drill you have not performed an illegle act and the Moror Police will leave you alone :-)

Agreed! I have rockets with 29mm mounts that really need something in the G64-G80 range, and G80s are just outrageous at $25 MSRP. (I do understand the dynamics of the cost of manufacture, so I don't mean to imply that AeroTech is gouging; I just wish I had a way to score a load of them for about $15 each)

I disagree.
The solution is market size increase and the ONLY way is to LOWER barriers to entry.
I sure wish TRA and NAR would contribute to that at the NFPA, TMT/S&T and internal policy levels.
The problem right now is not MAINLY regulation. And the crippled market size prevents effective regulatory change power.

This should be in the FAQ.
Prices come and go, and may vary.
Don't have a digital camera, eh?
Never!!
Not sure of conversion rate but I'm paying - AU$
$40 - G40 $44 - G80 $65 - 2x G35EJ Can't even find a G64 Reload.....
There goes the weeks wages......
Gary -
When will it go to TMT or S&T?
Jeff has some kick ass products. You have some catching up to do.
Jerry this is the second time this week -
WIPE YOUR FACE!!!
Do Gary a favor and don't try to help him.
Wipe your face again Jerry.

1 US$ = 1.31 AUS$
So you pat $30.00 but would expect $25.00 The difference is mostly imnport duties and freight.

Yep, so does Ellis, CTI, USR, LOC, PML, RATT Works, Sky Ripper, AMW, Quest, BMS, etc...
We all fill a niche in a niche market.
You're right, but not entirely in the way you're thinking.
Gary/RCS
Agreed.

I partly agree with Jerry on this one. But NFPA/TMT/S&T is not, IMHO, contributing to the BTE problem.
BTE in hobby rocketry is mostly a challenge of distribution.
Prior to the accident, AeroTech had a plan in place to expand the market and it WAS effective. RCS is working to reinstate that plan now.
Gary/RCS
Still drives me mad!!!
I think there's only one importer of motors down here??? Dawn Trading........
I'd like to import a few grands worth but have no idea on the legal requirements or customs mumbo jumbo......... To much paper work.....
I know I should buy Australian (The TV commercial says so) but nearly everything I have to do with rockets (Apart from Plywood & Glues) comes from the States or Europe..
But that is achieved by capitalization and other company specific policies.
NFPA requiring 1/2 the expected altitude for a launch site when Centuri grew for dedcades on 1/4 the expected altitude is bogus.
And if we transition to HPR the BTE are excruciatingly huge. Unnecessarily.
