Aerotech Not Shiipping

I got on a few web sites looking to purchase some Aerotech composite single user motors and all three sites were out of stock. I called Hobbylinc and they said the problem is with Aerotech. I called Aerotech and they said they are having problems with their igniter vendor. They may not ship until end of April or beginning of May.

Bob,

My engine needs from AT are simple. I fly their singe use F42-4 and E20-4 engines. Anything bigger than that I get Cessseroni reloads from Jason. If I can't get the AT E and F engines I need I will look at Jason's pink list and find equivalent Cesseroni reloads. If you or anyone know which Cesseroni reloads are compatible with the AT engines I use it will be much appreciated.

I checked some additional web sites over the weekend and Aerotech engines are still on back order. I checked the Estes site and they do have a few composite engines that they list as shipping. Keep in mind that Estes does not include ignitors. They sell those Sonic ignitors but they do not work very well. By the time you pay full price and the hazmat fee your'e better of getting motors from AMW. Plus you support our vendor that attends all the launches.

Bob,

Thank you for the advice. It is certainly very helpful. It's good to know that there are compatible motors that I can purchase at the field. Another Aerotech motor I use is a 29mm G80-7. Total impulse is 136.7 NS, Avg Thrust 77.6 N with a burn time of 1.70 seconds. This would be for a 3lb 7 oz rocket. That is the Standard Missile II I used for my L1 certification. What Cesseroni Pro29 do you recommend as being compatible? Thank you in advance for your help. Hope to see you 4-22-17 in Amesbury.
