Charging the on-board propel vessel

[Slats]

After chilling down the propel container within the Subdriver....is there a rule of thumb for how long it takes to fully charge the propel storage vessel with propel?

I know this will depend upon the size / volume of the storage vessel - but I still think I am not charging correctly.

Thanks

You can over-fill the on-board bottle and that would be dangerous (a blown flexible hose could be the result). I do this: Charge the on board bottle, then vent the entire contents quickly (you only put a little in, the transfer of liquid stopped the moment the pressure in the can and on-board bottle equalized), this chills the bottle, lowering its energy. Charge again and hold the charging adapter in place a full five-seconds -- this time it took much more liquid to reach the same pressure in the on-board bottle as the can, and you should have filled the on-board bottle about 1/3 full of Propellant, which is the desired amount.

Thanks David,

I see what I am doing wrong is not emptying the enitire contents to chill it down.
I was merely just depressing the fill valve and letting a small blast out.
In other words I was not chilling the bottle down propely, therefore restricting the subsequent fill.

You got it, John. Go get 'em!

Good stuff never knew that. Perhaps I can get a bit more thrust out of my missiles now.
David what would you recomend for a substate on missiles that is resistant to propel and still light weight.

Kevin - a little off your question but what is "substate"?
Thanks

Oh a substate is when you dont prof read and forgot to type one of the required letters making a whole new one in the process. The intended word was substrate.

[toppack]

Which in that case is a durable base material that the missile exhaust pushes against as it is exiting the sub, that will prevent damage. (like blow a hole in her bottom):D

More like a material that doesnt get brittle over time due to reacting with the chemicals in pvc and blow up like a little handgrenade killing the maker.... you know that kind of stuff.
