CARLSBAD, California USA — For LDRS 24, the blacksky Corporation is reducing prices by 25% on all blacksky products from July 1 through July 31, 2005. Discounts include all products including the AltAcc2C, Timer2N, ARRD2, Rails, Rail Guides, and the NEW Ejector2 and Optimal 102-38 Kit. Blacksky will be attending LDRS 24 this year and all of these products will be available. Dealers may also take advantage of this sale, please contact blacksky for details.
The NEW blacksky items include an improved version of the Ejector that has an O-ring sealed threaded aluminum plug for up to two e-matches and a threaded plastic plug to close the open end. The blacksky Ejector2 can be used with PyrodexP¨ or ffffg black powder at ANY altitude. An early version of the Ejector2 was used on all of the NASA DART flights and are 3 for 3 at altitudes of 30K feet MSL. The key is to contain ignition long enough to generate sufficient pressure to assure combustion. The hot gas is released when the threaded plastic plug releases at approximately 250 PSI. The quantity of the charge dictates the volume of gas generated. Threaded seals and O-rings assure better and more consistent results from any given charge. As with all ejection charge systems, use safety glasses at all times when loading, installing, and arming the Ejector2.
The NEW Optimal 102-38 is a 4 inch OD x 69 inch long, 38mm motor rocket kit, 5 1/2 pound rocket kit. The airframe is polycarbonate and the Fin and Fin Can is aluminum for durability. Motor mounts and the coupler are also aluminum with an innovative extrusion for attaching the centering rings and bulkhead. The most interesting feature is that the Optimal 102-38 is assembled entirely with a #2 Phillips screwdriver, nothing else is needed! This is a great kit for schools or for those that want a durable rocket for Level 1 or Level 2 certification. The kit comes with tubular shock cord and motor retainers for 38mm re-loadable motors.
