While I like WL propellant in the E15, I agree that the E30 T is much easier/quicker to ignite.
In a cluster you want this so ignition is simultaneous...easy with Blue Thunder, not so with White Lightning.
I'd go with E30s also.

Hmm . . .

I make my own igniters for clusters ( tipped with Blue Thunder ) and have never had a problem with E15's ( 7 at once ).

However, with factory igniters, that might be an issue.

John,

Estes needs to produce some core-burner motors in the 24mm & 29mm E & F BP motors !

+1 for core/port burning 24mm and 29mm BP motors.

Here's hoping Estes does put out a Gemini Titan kit in the near future. I'm tired of the ridiculous prices they go for on eBay. Back in the late 80s/early 90s when Estes would throw in a kit for free with a large enough order, my freebie was the #1978 Gemini Titan. Now I see that kit selling for hundreds of dollars. I kick myself for building and flying it--I coulda made a big profit!

The #1978 kit is horrible from a scale standpoint and is a 1-hour build for those with even average skills.
I want the "Craftsman worthy" cluster-power K-21 back with no molded plastic JUNK.

The K-21 was long before my time. I'd be happy to see both types come back. A standard size 1978 update and a K-21 in the PSII family.
