Rail buttons

[SCOTT EVANS]

I have in mind, one long burning motor, I would like to try this spring. It doest pack as much punch up front, but it will take the Rocket a little over mach according to Rocksim(yes I know its not perfect). Rocksim keeps defalting to a 36″ rod, which says the Rocket is a little slow at the end for stability. 6 feet I think will be fine.
The length of a rail, one more thing I didnt know till now. Thanks Bruce.
I didnt measure one the last time I was out. 😉

Actually our 1010 and 1515 rails are mostly 8′ sections although we do have a couple old Blacksky rails (same as the 1010 for buttons) that are 6′ and a couple sections of 1515 that are only 6′ long. Figure on 8′ for a standard 1010 or 1020 rail.

What Warren said. Another curious question, what long burn motor are you going to use? Cesaroni moonburner?

Ah Sherlock

Actually, wrong Moon Burners (Cesaroni). I looked those up today, 98 mms of WOW! Level 3 stuff out of my League right now, and price range.
I was actually refering to Loki’s 54 mm K350 Moon burner.

That’s a great motor – I have one sitting in my buddy’s magazine right now and planning on flying it in a minimum diameter bird either at Mile High Mayhem or in June.

Do you have a case for that motor. I need to check fit.

Yes, I do have the case for it. I’m not sure exactly where, but I’ll dig for it before the annual meeting on Saturday.
