Bump the question and add a news link. So far I have gleaned the specified thrust ring is 1/4" and commercial tape is not readily available so I should include something with the motors. Right? The tentative nozzle extension is 5/8" OD and variable length depending on throat but around 1/2". The tentative delay extension is also 5/8" but I feel it could be comfortably reduced to 1/2" if helpful. These are questions that will lead to a product that is on the market for the next 10-20 years. so these are not stupid questions. YORF hive mind is shockingly valuable. Geeks!!
