I agree on 24/29 mm reloads and SU. I fly nothing else except a very few BP 18's. and will likely not even go L1 any time soon due to no NAR chapter within 125 miles or so and don't care too much for the latest rendition (lack of communication mostly) of the local Tripoli club as well as the rising cost of membership by leaps and bounds. (15.00 to 40 something to 62.00 in 3 years-NAR + my option..Tripoli club fees which are also rising) Sure I'd like to fly a few G's and above every now and then but couldn't really afford very many and don't have so many places to launch. Besides...without the mid sized motors a company is ensuring that the BP A-D launchers of today and tomorrow will likely never fly the big motors. Cut out the middle and both ends may die. High overhead and low revenue for mid power ? maybe but without one you'll likely not feed the other. Dwindling future HP flyers as a result of very little or no mid power will help no one now or later.

Who has launched very little of anything since AT started getting scarce right after he lost his 24MM case at about the same time.

It works in the rest of the world, why not with rocketry? My concern though, is what Len has pointed out. One hundred percent of my flying is with 29mm G and lower, and mostly single use. I am working towards L1, but even with that, most all of my flying will be low to mid power. The selection for E,F,and G motors with out AT, is extremely slim. Especially since what hardware I currently have is AT's. If AMW purchases AT, will the 24mm and 29mm line of motors and reloads be continued?

Don't forget that a lot of the appeal of AT's product line was to users of SU F and G impulse motors, and the smaller SU motors OEMed for Apogee. len.
