In my world of auto parts, the only description that can be trusted to properly identify a product is a part number.

Wilman has them

Thanks, I did see that. I have orders that are outstanding from wildman...I'm holding off ordering anything else until he catches up.

Still need to understand the RDK/CRDK differences in descriptions...so I can manage my delays appropriately.

Can I place a hazmat RCS order for pickup at NSL? When is the deadline to do so if possible?

You’ll have to call or email customer service.

I was having a look at my M685 reload and noticed that the nozzle was a single throat instead of a medusa like the drawing on RCS shows. Has there been a change to the reload, or have I gotten the wrong nozzle?

M685s don't use a medusa nozzle any more, no.

Sweet, that means I can use the 75mm tapered aft closure with it. the medusa nozzles are too short to use with it.

Maybe? I'm just going off what the Aerotech supplied drawing says.

Not sure if it's long enough, it's still an extremely short nozzle. It's just that it's a single throat.

The drawing is out of date. The last M685 I flew, last year, had a single throat nozzle and I wouldn't say it was particularly short, maybe post a pic?

M685 does indeed now use the single throat nozzle.

M685 single throat nozzle is submerged within the tail cone closure by 0.225" (see my drawing below)
