If not (or even if it is), is there an archive of back issues that is accessible anywhere?

You're welcome.

I found 'other' interesting motors while digging out the ones that I ended up photographing.

More pictures in the future!

I've loaded a bunch of motor photos to my website.

http://web.me.com/mr.windsor/index.html

Currently there are just photos, but I'm working on adding descriptive captions and manufacture info and history.

I'll also add photo credits. Most of the motors are from my collection, but several people have sent me photos over the years and I want to make sure to credit them. It's a small thank you.

Enjoy. More to come.

Dale, everytime I see this and as you have added more and more down thru the years, it becomes a new and exciting experience all over again.

Thanks. I love finding out more and more about our hobby. I've still got a big box of motors that I need to photograph. And I know that there is still more out there.

I was wondering is some of you might help me out on something.

This primarily applies to those people that have RocketFlite BP motors.

Its my understanding that there was 2 types of these motors:

the earlier ones, prone to cato, had only an outer paper casing. these wewre later replaced with those with outer aluminum casings.

If you have any of the former or later, especially the later ones with the aluminum cases and see if they had an internal paper casing?

Also if you happen to have either of these types of motors silver streaks or regular ones, would you please post any paperwork that came with them. What I am specifically looking for are thrust time curves and such info as propellant weights, overall weights, lengths, OD diamter, ID diameter etc.

thanks in advance to anybody willing to assist me with this.

Bob were these plastic cases on these engines? and were they BP or were they a composite propellant?
