[NRVR-Members] Anyone Ever Use RCS Motors?

[Thomas Tweeks Weeks]

Yeah Bob.. that's what's confusing. I assumed if RCS was there for the research motor community, that their casings would necessarily have the thicker/heavier casing walls to handle some of the challenges of research loads... no? All I see is fiberlgass casings, so I'm not guessing you get to reuse all the parts (just the closures and the nozzles a few rimes?).
 
Is Loki and others recommended over RCS hardware for fully reusable "aggressive" research/DIY hardware?
 
They seem to be really well equipped.. and sell everything that's needed...

Yes Gary Rosenfield started and is the owner or Aerotech. He also started Rosenfield consulting services (RCS) maybe 10 years ago to service the research community. 

If you’ve flown Aerotech motors, you have used RCS stuff. I think the disclaimer is meant to say that the commercial hardware does not have the wall thickness needed if you are making very aggressive propellants. It seems to hold up just fine with aggressive AT reloads, but generally people doing research use thicker walled cases like Loki, AMW, and Mostly Missiles. In my experience this is what I’ve seen.

  Correct me
  if I'm wrong, but isn't Aerotech the
  "hobby" arm of RCS?

  Very
  interesting stuff..  Looks like all research and DIY based
  stuff.
