A Bernard Special?Hope not!I went to their lab and helped them clean out the room.There was a rocket we found that had augered into the ground. Looked like playa dirt. It was dirty and torn to heck with a mangled nose. And, the motor case was in it untouched.It took ten minutes to peel off the rocket off the case.Obviously an upper stage of a rocket.Pretty damn agressive for college kids!Well it didn’t work. (Go figure)
So Larry gets the prize!
I can take it apart and look at the color and give it a sniff test, but that would take all the fun away!!

It's one of the "Risky Batman" APCP pours Joe Barnard did that ended up with surface bubbles on the inside faces 😉 Would mean an extra spicy burn, ha

yeah I know but it’s from a student team and my god if they dont even know what motor it is, I seriously doubt they would know that 75/98 AT loads are interchangeable with CTI cases (and the opposite is not always true) but yeah, I think Larry is going to have a good time with this. an M something On Tue, Mar 19, 2024 at 7:04 PM JAMES FRANCO <aldocyber3@xxxxxxx> wrote:
Could be AT, but doubt it. This is from a while back. AeroTech Consumer Aerospace is pleased to announce the certification of all AeroTech 75mm reloads with the use of Cesaroni Technology Incorporated 75mm hardware. Using AeroTech 75mm reloads with CTI 75mm hardware will not require any additional parts or modifications. Single-throat 75mm AeroTech reloads may be used immediately with CTI hardware. Yes Vmax propellant has a distinct smell before and while burning. If I remember the skids have unique scent too. LOL, now I'm going to go do some grain snifs from my stockpile. Jimmy F.

Sold to Larry Taylor.
Thank you all for the help.
The label was missing and the case was 30” +- from what I remember.
Larry will have fun worth this!
Let's wait to see what motor it is when he launches it at the TCC launch.
Any wagers?
Sparky, White, blue, fast, slow?
Like Forest Gump says-
“Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know whats inside”!
