LTV Scout returns!
Hello All,
Later this year (in September), Boyce Aerospace Hobbies will release several new scale kits, including an upscale of Estes' LTV Scout kit, sized for 29 mm motors (see: http://boyceaerospacehobbies.com/ ). Hopefully an original-size LTV Scout (and, I hope, same-scale Blue Scout I/II [the two were very similar, and could be offered as a customize-able model] and Blue Scout Junior kits) will be offered in due course. The Estes LTV Scout had a single "Recommended Engine" (the C6-3), and today such a scale model could use not only the C6-3, but also several Quest Q-Jet and Aerotech SU and RMS 18 mm composite propellant "D" motors.

The Estes LTV Scout had the C6-5 recommended as the only engine for most of it's production run. The last couple years it changed to the C6-3. The C5-3 is a far better motor for it than either.

A Q-Jet C12-4 would be the best currently available replacement for a C5-3.
(I finally had a C5-3 CATO on me a couple of weeks ago, taking out my Fat Boy before i could try it on a C12-4. That was going to be its next flight.)
