Rocket Doctor this is for you, as well as others who are more in the know than I. I would appreciate input, insight from all as well
Since there is talk about motors of old, port burners, boosters, 13mm, shorties, etc, I have to ask. Why is that we are limiting ourselves to the "standard" 18x70mm. There was also talk of longer delays, better tracking smoke, and the limiting factor of said motor dimensions. For delay, why not go 18x72mm or 75mm? Most any model can be adapted.
I realize the cost of such, but why do companies , or possibly "new" ones, have to stick to this formula? Was FSI the only one who had different dimensions?
As you have stated, you would revamp a certain company to make it inot a rocketeers paradise, but would you be thinking outside the box as well? I share the frustrations that you and others have. Since You and others have more expertise than I, some insight would be great, and I would like to know.
