Jack,

 

Your brooms do get around in rocketry.

Oh John one more thing they will officially tell you that they were not

a launch one time and cut off a piece of my broom handle and wrapped electrical 
tape to snug fit it and it was glorious.

Anyone know if the old style Dr. Rocket 98mm forward closure with an ejection 
well will work with current AT loads?

 

I can't find much on the web, and only have found two Dr Rocket closures on his 
ancient website with http://wayback.archive.org/web/. One is listed as regular, 
the other as extended. Aerotech and Rouse-Tech only make a normal length 
enclosure now. So I'm assuming that extended 98mm closures won't work anymore?

 

I did find that delay's for the 98mm are no longer approved for use, but one 
could plug the hole for the ignition of the charge, and use it as a plugged 
closure. But one of these is scrap metal if I can't really use it in the future.

 

Thanks,

 

John
