Rocketry Planet

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana USA — Giant Leap Rocketry is proud to introduce a new 54mm version of the Slimline Bell-Shaped Nozzle Retainer.

Giant Leap Rocketry is proud to introduce a new 54mm version of the Slimline Bell-Shaped Nozzle Retainer.

Like its 38mm cousin, the 54mm Bell Retainer is available in silver and in black.

The Bell Retainer not only holds reloadable motors in place, just like other Slimline retainers, but it also adds a nozzle shape to the aft end of a rocket. And, it's internally threaded, so it works exactly like the other threaded Slimlines, except this one is shaped like a real rocket's nozzle.

Giant Leap's new 54mm Bell Retainer adheres to the motor mount tube in the same way, requiring about a 1/2" of exposed motor mount tube for attachment using JB-Weld. 

The 54mm Bell Retainer is machined from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum. And like the other retainers, it's light, but thick-walled, to resist damage.

Way cool! We have been playing with this 6" rocket. 4 X 38mm and a center 54mm. It will look great with all those bells out the back! Thanks again!
