Model Forum / General / Rockets / August 2008Welcome back, RMR.
Wow. Posts about rockets instead of B. G*th's raging against reality. I suppose I should help.... Does anyone know if Estes plans to offer C5s again? I haven't flown my old LTV Scout in years. And what's this C11? Sounds like a cool motor, but I don't know what I'd use it for. Perhaps to spank a heavy one off the pad a lil' quicker? Kinda like a B14 for the modern era? <g> And where on earth does someone find BP lower stage engines these days? Grrr. -Panama Floyd, Atlanta. lapsed NAR, but back soon... >Wow.

Kinda like a B14 for the modern era? <g> You know it's a 24mm diameter motor? It's more of a D12-lite. It'll get your heavy 24mm motor-mounted motors off the pad, but they won't go very high. >And where on earth does someone find BP lower stage engines these >days? Grrr.

I didn't know it was 24mm. Ouch. I suppose it's made for some of their RTF?

Head on up to Braselton next week for SoAR's first launch at the newly re-acquired launch site (don't know if you'd dropped out before then, but that's where we flew for 2002-2003. C11's came out with a splash about six or seven years ago, 0,3,5, and 7 delays, but within a year Estes pulled back to only offering the C11-3. It is a 24mm motor, a lighter alternative for old rockets like the Black Brant (but only for those of us who stocked up on C11-7), that can't be flown on a D12 without considerable risk of loss. No, Estes doesn't plan on C5 or B8. The new Chinese-made Quest motors, though marked C6, apparently have characteristics similar to the B8 and C5. High peak thrust and long lower tail. They still have lots of their German made B6 motors, though, so we'll have to wait on Chinese B6 motors. Both Estes and Quest are back to selling B6-0 motors, but you won't find anything lower except the A10-0t.

I did check out the ol' SOAR website, and saw that y'all are flying within high-power drifting distance of the racetrack I used to drive on (Road Atlanta). <g> I'm working for the next few weekends....but I'm sure tired of flying on postage stamps. Perhaps you'll see me back before too long. ;) -PF |
