8) For my 2 cents worth, in a 1-2-3 world, I would go I540, K660 or L730, and finish with a lovely M1400. Pro all the way! 8)

The motor mount is only long enough for the M1297W. Gotta save weight!

Tim, we talked about the price of AT RMS casings and reloads, we should talk about CTI and compare costs. You showed me the EASE of using Cesaroni… I don’t want to head off in the wrong direction. CTI motors are really impressive… and moonburners with an M burn of over 14 seconds! Suh-weeet! Man, I really hate to say this, but I really don’t care about the color of the flame, only performance. So if Cesaroni hasn’t joined the rainbow league, that’s fine. And, the fact that you can use CTI reloads in AT RMS hardware is really versatile. That way I can use the RMS casings I already have. And, if I decide to go with AT RMS, I can still use certain CTI reloads, in certain casings, right? The way this relates to Art is that I can’t find the dimensions of CTI casings, and I want to keep my next booster section long enough to handle everything (including hybrids). You know where I can find the info?

I can help you there Bruce.. PM me and I have the data for you. Thats how ive designed all of the majority of the rockets Ive ever flown.

AFAIK, all Pro75’s fit in the equivalent AT hardware, and that might be true about Pro98 as well (not quite as sure there). So, buy AT hardware for 75mm, and then you can fly both Pro75 and AT loads in one set of cases.

What CTI M can Art use in the 1297 casing (75/5120)?

I think it is a big L motor. That would be cool, fly a full L for the L2 class flight and then reload the same casing for the L3 class flight!

That’s the L1115 IIRC. The M is the M1400, which fits in the AT 6400 case.

BUT…. now that CTI and AMW have joined forces (knew that one was coming enough that I could have predicted it.. wait I think I did) MORE new things are abound. AMW and CTI will have cross compatible loads and with whatever it is AT is doing im not sure. They may actually switch over to snap ring casing.. Seeings how Rouse is now making cases for snap ring stuff now. BUT why would AT abandon all their customers that have the standard AT hardware.. I dont think they would just a big game.. Plus ive heard that AT has loads already DOT approved for Pro38 hardware.. Then I think I remember AMW and CTI announcing their stuff will also be cross compatible with AT cases to…phew… To much crap going down in that 3 way circus of who has the biggest @%$#… Wizzing contest are never good especially for the end user. I would say wait a bit to see what happens. But I will say this. between those 3 manufactures AMW and CTI will probably have the best advantage for about every and anything as the $$$ in that corner are bigger.

Might be better to have another case with the M already loaded to save time. Having to clean and reload can suck..
