By the time I got my original K-36, the D13's were available, but even now I still like to fly it on 3 C6-3's occasionally. First available in the 1969 catalog.
http://www.ninfinger.org/rockets/no...a/69est024.html, only lists C6-3 for engines.



You are correct. I was one of the first to receive a K-36 Saturn V (in August or September '69), and it did not have a D mount, as the motor would not be introduced for three or four more months.
