Reloadable Motor System 24/40

Great starter re loadable engine kit. I have several flawless flights with this motor tube and have used it not only for personal use but also as a training tool for others in the 4-H rocketry program. I am very pleased with the quality and workmanship involved in the making of this motor system. PRO'S easy to reload easy to clean well written instructions. CON'S Lots of small parts involved so not for younger children

Plan on reloading more motors in order to be able to fly more rockets for less. Should give me lots of options.

When I first got back into rocketry I purchased the 24/40 case from HobbyLinc. Having only launched on Estes BP motors I was amazed at the difference that a good composite motor system makes. I've been able to launch much heavier rockets safely and to higher altitudes than I ever though possible with BP. At first I was anxious about the reloading process having heard stories of destroyed rockets due to improperly assembled motors but after the first flight all my concerns were laid to rest. The motors are easy and quick to assemble and I often reload the casing multiple times at club launches. Some rubber gloves and baby wipes help a lot when reloading at the range. The difficulty of cleaning cases seems to be a bit overstated by some. I've never used more than simple green and water and mine come out sparkling clean each time. (I've even run them through the dishwasher when the wife isn't home.) Every person who launches model rockets should be using these casings. Its cheaper in the long run and allows you to launch bigger rockets or get more height out of smaller ones. The best part is the better selection of motors and the ability to purchase reloads for some motors without having to pay the hazmat fee associated with prebuilts.
