So Bob, my guess is that you think that these are AeroTech cases?

I'm loving the motor retention.

It's the same system/method/part as used in the North Coast Rocketry By Estes (NCRBE) kits in the late 1990's.

They should.

I think for me to get all the way to giddy, it would take at least one offering that's got something different to offer on the old thrust curve than what's already readily available on the market, or a substantial volume-based reduction in pricing.

One nice thing about this development is that Estes has written a word above the MPR/composite motor market:

LEGIT

From a business standpoint, Estes has looked at this market with all of the risk/reward factors and said "let's do this."

You and I know about this market but I would think that there are a lot of "park flyers" that have no idea about "life beyond BP motors". If nothing else, there will be an increased awareness, will potentially breed interest and further expansion of the hobby, which of course is a good thing.

Another nice thing is that Estes is "mainstream" and has conduits to WalMart, Hobby Lobby, etc. I hope that in the future that I would be able to get a SU composite motor with a HL 40% off coupon or motors from WalMart where I don't have to worry about HazMat pricing issues, etc.

I hope their "Sonic Igniters" aren't Copperheads.

Any word on revising the CA Health and Safety Code to get rid of the antiquated weight limits?
