Giant Leap Releases Silver Bell-Nozzle Slimline Retainer March 25, 2005 Web posted at: 4:58 PM EST
(ROL Newswire) -- Giant Leap Rocketry introduces a silver version of the 38mm bell nozzle retainer. Like the black version released last year, it not only holds reloadable motors in place, just like other Slimline retainers, but it adds a nozzle shape to the aft end of a rocket. It's internally threaded, so it works exactly like the other threaded Slimlines, except this one is shaped like a nozzle. It adheres to the motor tube in the same way. The bell-nozzle is machined from 6061 T6 aircraft-grade aluminum. And like the other retainers, it's light, but thick-walled to resist damage. A 54mm version is tentatively planned for later this year.
