Which are the loudest 24, 29, & 38mm Aerotech reloads? Specifically ones that fit 29/100, 29/180, 38/240, & 38/360 casings. Thank you. -- Richard "it's one dreary day here" Hickok

The ones that go bang.
USR 29-320-BK.
Phil, you're a big help.......you're much more helpful & (somewhat) knowledgable in person. -- Richard "are you going to METRA's sod farm launch next weekend, Phil?" Hickok
Damn....that 28mm should have been 38mm. -- Richard "uncooperative fingers" Hickok
38/240 H242T is pretty good...
(29/240 H220T isn't bad either.)

Are you saying you don't agree about the bang thing?
I'm not going to METRA. I'm trying to get four new ones finished for the next MDRA launch. Also, there's a PARA launch Sunday.

Most rocket motor CATOs are kind of a dull pop. They don't have anywhere near the noise output as a normal burn from a high mass flow motor.

I'd say I 357.
We fly this Sat & Sun.

Then you're not poping them with the right stuff. ;-)
Thanks to those of you who responded with real answers. -- Richard "it was nice hearing from you ANYWAY, Phil. I'll look for you (& your 4 new rockets) at the next MDRA Central Sod launch" Hickok
Hey - I have video & a casing to prove my answer was real.

I guess. He didn't say the motor had to stay in one piece or lift the rocket so, anything is fair game.
One thing this taught me early on - putting it into a hole in the ground is a great safety feature. I used a post hole digger to dig the hole & pounded in a 1" steel rod to attach it to. If a snap ring lets loose or the motors over pressurizes, the stuff either goes down into the hole or straight up & back down. I haven't had anything go horizontal. That makes it much easier to find the pieces for analysis as well as being safer.
