Here's a picture of my Synerjet 'model rocket' reload casings. Top: 29mm for E-G reloads Middle: 22mm long for E-G reloads Bottom: 22mm short for D-F reloads I have reload kits for all the casings still sealed. After I ordered all these casings and reload kits, I heard back from Synerjet that I had placed the largest ever order for these items up to that time. Bob |

Synerjet produced one other interesting item for their reloadable system.
I don't know if they were the first but Synerjet had a delay modification tool for use with their reloadable and single-use motors (And it would work with other companies' products, too. ) Bob |

Before their reloadable motors, Synerjet made single use 29mm motors.
Here are pictures of their E43-11 and G41-11 motors. Why buy the long delays? To use the delay modification tool, of course! Bob |

Back when this whole 'reloadable motors' concept started gaining a following (And customer base) several other companines/individuals produced reload casings and reloads.
Ron Schultz of LOC/Precision was a 'silent' partner with someone else (I forget who) with a company name of Propulsion Industries. They produced a 29mm reload case and reloads. I have one of their G80 reloads still sealed. Here's a picture of the casing. It's still sealed in the bag. Bob |

Of course, one cannot discuss reloadable motors without mentioning Dr. Frank Kosdon.
At a Lucerne, CA launch around 1990-91, Scott Pearce and I each purchased one 29mm casing and one G-something reload from Frank (No, he did not produce the casings and reloads from inside his shorts (If you've met Frank at a launch you would understand this joke )). Here is my 29mm Kosdon casing (Unwrapped for only the second time) and the reload kit. Bob |

I have one of these too. IIRC it was called a Delay Ranger or something like that. Brilliantly simple and clever design. And it works great for most Aerotech delays. |

Okay, for you more 'traditional' model rocket fans, here's something rare.
Back in 1990, Canaroc was almost resurrected under the name Space Models, Inc. It would basically be a re-issue of all the original Canaroc products, including motors. The company never made it into full production but a few items did get out. SMI submitted motors to NAR S&T for certification. They did not pass (I was never told why). At NARAM-41, the auction featured a baggie containing two B18-3 and one C9-5 SMI motors left over from S & T testing and never reclaimed by SMI. I bid on them and won. I traded one of the B18s for another motor. Here's a picture of my SMI motors: B18-3 at top, C9-5 below. Bob |

All of this is very cool, keep it coming! And I missed all this when I was 'out of' rocketry!

Dale, If you still have the files/pics for the old motor website, I could host it for you here as a sub-domain off of rocketshoppe.com until you're able to get your own site going again. Just let me know.
