Buying motors

[Brad MorseKeymaster]

Yes, Joe was selling out his stock of motors because Giant Leap is getting out of the motor business.

Joe, Jon and Ed are getting together and starting a new business to keep the flow of motors for the club.

They will be carrying less stock than Joe did with Giant Leap, so there will be a more limited selection of motors that will be available at the launches.  I'm sure they'll have a way for you to place orders through them for specific motors.

I guess this is more for Joe.

Is there a listing of avail. motors left?

This sure is scary.

We have had it too easy for years.

according to Joe. He will not have on hand as big a selection, but you can place orders with the Joe/Ed/Jon motor vendor coalition for most motors. (Maybe they have a formal name for the group?)

I think the only thing different is that you may not find the motor you want on a flight day, but there will likely be something similar or close.

We can support the new motor vendor coalition by buying their on-hand motors too.

Thanks to Joe, Ed, and Jon.

I'm planning on attempting (and succeeding!) L2 certification at the March 7 launch. I need to buy a suitable J motor.

My first choice would be J350W. Backup choices would be J825R or J570W, but those are more ambitious and I would rather stay low.

Can somebody sell me the motor? Please email geofgivens@gmail.com

Thanks, and I look forward to seeing you at the next launch.

We should have you covered Geoff.

[Geof Givens]

With the J350? I'll need to get the right sized case from David Pinter and the sizes differ.

[Jeffrey Joe HintonModerator]

J350 fits the 38/720 case.  Pretty sure there's one available, either from the club or loaner stash of mine.  Hope the weather cooperates.

[Geof Givens]

Sorry to be pedantic and communicating poorly. I know which case fits which motor, what I was clarifying is whether you had the J350 specifically, or only one of the backups instead.

Snow should melt by then, I hope 🙂

So I think I read in the annual meeting info that Joe was selling all his motors. Is that right? If so, will Aerotech motors still be available for purchase at monthly launches?

[Jeffrey Joe HintonModerator]

J350 it is.  Proud motor.  Probably one of my favorites.
