Awesome! Great explanation on how to read the rocket motor code. I would just like to add that commercially available motors actually start with 1/4A mini motors from Estes. Also, in America, without a High Power Rocketry certification, rocket motor purchases are limited by propellant weight, so there are actually some H motors that you can purchase. In Canada, we are limited by motor class designation and can purchase and launch up to G motors without a license. In the UK you can purchase G motors as well but are allowed to fly up to 2 stages of G motors without a license. Oh, and maybe a little more mention on why some ejection delays are 0 and how they are used for staging would be useful info. Cheers! Keep up the great videos!
Thanks for the details about the regulations in North America. I guess my statement on F motors being the typical maximum is not quite correct. As for your thoughts behind the 0 delay motors, it is my understanding that these are typically used for staging. We have a video coming out next week that goes more into this as we have to reveal what is going on inside the motor to really explain this properly... *spoilers*.
Where do you live that you can't get a G without a certification? Where I live I can buy all the way to L from my local store. H-I with level 1 certification and J-K-L with level 2.
