I have one of those long 18mm AVI D engines, and I have one of their 24mm E's as well.
I still have several 27mm goofy diameter FSI F engines in F100 and F7 flavors, as well as some of those goofy diameter FSI D18/D20 and E6 angines. I have a few old Composite Dynamics (Gary R's first foray into composites) 24mm E20's and 24mm F45?'s. I actually flew an old Composite Dynamics 40 n-sec SU E20-7 that was date coled I think Jan. 1981 in an old beat-up Estes Maxi Alpha last year and the delay ACTUALLY WORKED nominally !!! I have some tiny AVI 1/8 A engines that fit into an Estes BT-3 as well.

Hey, Is the EnerJet in the photo the one I traded with you for a coaster motor at NARAM?
If so, I am glad it found a nice display home. |

Wow, that's a nice collection! I have to admit that I have a fantasy about stumbling on a cache of old motors in some garage sale. My 'collection' includes an early AT D10 and G125 and an Apogee 10.5mm B2. Wow. I'm thinking about adding a Quest D5 in there also. Haven't considered adding other in-production motors that are in my flying pile.

I have over 500 motors in the general collection. I sold about 75 at NARAM, just because there are only so many 1974 ESTES C6-7s one needs ( I had like 20 or so).
I have a whole pile of foreign motors I bought at NARAM, so I will need to build a second case!! If there is anything anyone is looking for, drop me a line, I have a ton of stuff, and will readily trade or sell dupes. Ph
