Has anyone flown one of those newer Aeroteck E15 su engines? I found a note
that had been posted about them and it sounds like the right one for use in
my Project Rimfire, but I've not seen anyone say they have flown it yet.

Well, they're not 'new', it's just that they've finally got around to
starting up production on them again after the fire. I have used a few
(and still have a few of my pre-fire ones), and have always been pleased
with the results of the engine (not always so pleased with the
Crapperhead igniters, though). If you read my posting about the Oracle
video, you'll find that I used one in there -- worked great. I've also
used some in my Estes Saturn V with great results.

Thanks, I've mostly flown BP engines, but I was not sure if the D/E would
work good, as this is a big tall rocket. But I noted the post said this E
had a bit more Kick for liftoff and a bit longer burn, which sounded like it
would be the right engine to use.
