Need opinion on next purchase……

8) I don’t think you can go wrong, Mine has gone as low as 460ft (don’t ask), and as high as 13,800. At MHM I am going to try the new K270. Fits the 54/2560 case. The grain is one piece with a weird offset. It burns with 100lb thrust for like, 6 days. If that is not enough I will switch to a L730. You might want to check Rays Fotos in 2-2 launch, my talon3 on an J825.

Tim, save one of those 270s for me!

8) The K270W-P is about 2050 ns. It has a large center whole at the bottom that gets smaller and moves to the outside (offset) up to the top. It is one grain about 2.6 pounds. The grain is 20.5 inches long. The noz. is a single hole around 3/8″. It fits the 54/2560 case. It burns as high as 100lbs thrust, and stayes above 80 for almost 4 seconds and looks to burn for around 7 to 7.5 seconds. I am hoping to push the VA to 14,000+
If the weather is real good I may try the load in the Firestorm54 and try for the 3mile club. I would need Jasons tracker. I would use a Pro K1440 in the VA, if I go with the Firestorm.

Tim, CTI, AT, or AMW’s? JW was asking who makes the reload. Sounds fantastic, BTW!

8)OOPS! It is an AeroTech K270W-P and fits the Aero 54/2560 case 8)

That sounds like an intriguing load… Cost??

8) All the 54/2560 loads, K700,K828, K1275, and the K270 are the same, 139.95 8)

Is Jason’s tracker on the 70cm band? Do you know what frequency he is using if so? I want to set my frequencies a bit different than others…. I have a couple of the Beelines, I want to mess around with the Yagi spacing and see what I can get out of it. I’ve been tossing around the use of 3/4″ PVC w/ slots and butterfly screws so I can change the frequency a bit.
Has anyone checked the freq range up at the grasslands for interference? If not, it really helps when setting up Tx/Rx systems….. It would make a good sticky on the electronics threads.

Hey Mule,

My tracker is on the 217MHZ range, frequency is 217.463. It’s a Walston system.

Tim,

Put the tracker in that rocket and light it, I will be more than happy to track it down for you.
