Are there any videos of how you disassemble clean and prepare the motor unit for reloading? There are many that show loading new assemblies, but I’d like to see the what I assume can be messy tear down and cleanup. Thank for the interesting videos.

The real key is to clean them ASAP. I usually clean mine the same day and use Fantastic or 409 and a blue shop towel. A toothbrush can come in handy for threaded areas and a bottle brush works great for the case.

I just need to know how to use a floating foward closure.
@nathankane38 2 жыл бұрын
Hey, I have built my first aerotech motor and when I finished and checked over the instructions there was a very small gap between the forward closure and the case. Is this a problem? I have also noticed the aft seal disk does not sit on the propellant it sits on the liner about a quarter inch from the propellant is this a problem? The reason for the gap is because it became incredibly tight and difficult to tighten. Ps it has a fiberglass liner

I have not assembled many AeroTech motors since casting my own sugar motors so I asked a friend. This is his response. Space in the liner is fine. That has happened to me several times. The forward closure not seating all the way onto the case, is not ideal. The way I assemble them is I start the forward closure and then start the aft closure. Then go back to the forward and screw it on all the way to the case. Then go back to the aft closure and do the same. I do the aft closure last because you can get better leverage on it. If I recall I've heard numbers like < 1/16 of an inch gap is fine between the closure and the case. That said, this has only happened to me a few times and only on smaller cases (i.e. AT 24/40, AT 18/20), which are harder to get good leverage. O-rings being properly greased may be a factor as well. You have to make sure the closures slide on the O-rings easily. I hope that helps.

At what point do you use the RMS delay drill? Before the o-ring gets put on the top?

Can you do the delay change with “G” class and below? Or just for “H” and up?
@TheRocketeer 10 ай бұрын
It depends on the motor, some of them have adjustable delays and others do not. You should ask the vendor for more information. Make sure you get the correct delay tool because there are two different ones.
