Speaking of motors, somewhere here on YORF there is a thread that--if memory serves--mentioned AVI motors with glued-in, selectable delay/ejection charge modules, which the NAR gave a thumbs-down.


The 24mm and 35mm (?) "Gold Line" motors did have delay / ejection charges that were glued in. But this was done at the factory. You didn't get to choose. I don't recall getting any of the boosters; I assume they would leave the delay / ejection cylinder out.

I don't recall that the NAR had a problem with this.

I flew a few of the big E and F motors. They were pretty awesome at the time. Longer duration thrust than the FSI F100. I flew them in a custom-made model with a Nike Smoke cone. It may have been minimum diameter!
