AMW

[Bret PackardParticipant]

Tim – Can you elaborate on “blending” the 38’s? Due to budget constraints, I will probably be flying more 38’s than 54’s this year. I have one AMW 38/640 casing i think it is, an was trying to decide if I wanted to expand with a couple more Cesaroni 38’s or AMW if they offer others. I do like all the different loads and colors of the AMW stuff, but the pure simplicity of the Cesaroni’s is also very appealing. I’ll look forward to chatting with you about it this weekend.

I had read that AMW had demonstrated Red Rhino in the Pro38 “so easy an idiot can do it” case, and said that Skidmark would be coming for that case as well.

Tim, can you confirm/deny? 1-6 grains? Maybe I won’t get rid of my Pro38-3grain case.

I think getting rid of it would be a good idea. Just toss it in the back of my car on Saturday and I’ll take care of it for ya 8)

8) Well, here is what I have heard from the people who might know. First off Cesaroni will be making most, if not all, Cesaroni and AMW propellant. The Pro 38 cases will soon have the regular loads plus, they will fly the AMW loads also. RR, GG, BB, Skids plus many new colors. Cross compatable. They should be ready to go before Summer. So hang on to your hardware. I have heard rumors of new drop-in 29 and 24 loads that will fit Aero cases, just rumors. The word is, the loads would only fit Aero (monster) hardware, as there would be no new hardware to buy. Drop in style GG,BB,RR loads for 29 hardware. Only Rumors. I see the suppliers moving toward loads that fit any hardware. The money is in the Propellant not hardware. We will see…stay tuned 8)

According to an anncoument that Paul and Anthony at AMW/CTI made recently I saw, was that the 38mm line of AMW hardware is no longer going to be produced. They were thinking on doing a buy back program possibly of that hardware.. for those that wish to keep their AMW 38mm hardware they are going to do for that hardware what they have planned for the entire AMW hardware line (54-75-98mm) to make so CTI loads can be used in them. To do this a special closure and washer assembly will be used in the AMW hardware to make them compatable and useable. Thus making CTI loads work in AMW hardware. All the formulations of AMW propellant are being certed in Pro 38/54/75/98mm cases as well. Basically a full line of both manufactures formulations (along with a bunch of new stuff like new Tiger loads fast and slow, and Fast and slow White wolf loads, Moon burner in AMW colors, and more as well as the new Kryptonite line of propellant.) I must admit Very cool stuff. Plus if I understand correctly they will be certing their loads for another manufactures hardware…. Brand A.

I had an Email conversation with one of the manufactures we will be repping.. Jim Harris of Gorilla, and he said tha he had never met Paul before and ended up hanging out with him at the florida winternational launch and had a great time. I think that to me is awesome to see 2 different manufactures be able to get along. He said Paul shared alot of great stuff on propellant and was really quite cool.

Anyhow Its my understanding from a report from that launch that they flew several new motors all in the Pro series cases all AMW formulations. Like Red Rhino, Even in moonburner, 2 new White wolf formulations as well as then never seen before black bear.. I heard it was quite cool.

Gosh I just love motors and propellant!!!! I sure do wish the ATFE would get their poop in a group.. I feel left out.. Good luck Tim!!!

With Tim Carrying CTI, AMW and AT and Us carring Loki and Gorillia I think all the bases that could be covered will be..

8) I think Conway is very correct. In the coming years, I would hope everybody would make there loads fit everybodys cases. I know there are Cert issues, but if there is a will, there will be a way. That way motor guys can do what the do best, make motors…What a great time to be flying rockets! Now if I can just find some time to play with a mixer…. 😀

[Bret PackardParticipant]

If that’s the case (no pun intended 🙄 ), you’d better stock up on 38mm cesaroni motor sets Tim! This is one rocketeer that would be all over it! 😀

[Bruce R. Schaefer]

Everybody, take a step back and realize what this club has available… we now have ALL possible commercial motors available, plus James, Conway, and Mike Bennett, the Kings of Research motors!, and another big plus–Edward with SkyRippers! I think Joe Hinton said in another thread, tongue in cheek, we have too much to choose from. 8) C’mon, guys, I can’t build fast enough! But don’t stop… 😉

tim will you have a AMW complete motors for sale? im looking for 54 -1750 or 1400 sized I want to launch on a K motor but I wasnt sure how MHM was going to work for AMW?
