Features of the Aero Pack Motor Retainers

Do you think engine hooks or tape looks ugly to hold the rocket motor in your model? Then you'll love the Aero Pack motor retainers. It gives your rocket a professional and finished look that a high quality rocket deserves.

What does it do? Simply, it also holds the engine in the rocket so it can't be spit out by a strong ejection charge. A secondary feature is that it allows you to quickly swap out the used-up motor for a new one in seconds. It is as simple as screwing off a bottle-top. Just twist off the cap, swap out the motor, and twist the cap back on to hold the engine in place.

How do you install it? Installation is very simple. Just bond the threaded portion to the aft end of the engine mount tube using some good high-temperature epoxy such as JB Weld. The cap portion is twisted on after the motor is placed in the vehicle.

Features Include:

  • Two-piece, light-weight assemblies fits all 29mm reloadable and single use motors

  • Precision machined 6061-T6 aluminum with mil-spec type II black anodizing for wear and corrosion resisitance

  • Large Quick-Turn Threads for Fast Tool-Free Motor Change

  • Compatible with the following solid fuel rocket motors: AeroTech™ / AMW™ / APS™ / Cesaroni ProX™ / Kosdon™ / Loki™
