Motor matters
I started this new thread to discuss new motors, proposed motors and any other ideas and thoughts about motors, either available now, or proposed .
What motors would you like to see and from whom ? Last edited by Rocket Doctor : 01-24-2008 at 08:32 AM. |

BP 18mm A8-0 or A6-0's. B6-0's I can buy in three-packs. I have a small field and a Custom SAM-X crying out for them.
An 18mm D engine of some sort. A10-0T's. Heck, A3-0T's would be cool for some applications.

This will be a great thread RD!
To start with I'd like to see the following BP items: -Higher impulse Estes type E motors. (E-9 just doesn't cut it for larger rockets) -Bulk packs of Estes type D and E motors |

I brought up the subject of putting "D" motors in bulk packs, the answer from the top was NO. WM would sell a boat load of these if they were available. I would like to see the B14's return and the C5-3 's as well, but, I know for a fact the B14 's from Estes isn't going to happen. The B6-0's are available in the educator bulk pack, I also suggested, that since the motors are being made, why not put them in a three pack, nothing yet. I tried to convince them to offer lower power boosters and mini boosters, I also made a prototype of a mini power two stage rocket called Hot Shot, got turned down, and, that's after they requested it?????? Looking for a motor manufactuere to provide the needs of all us rocketeers, anyone out there want to meet the challenge ???????? |

I vote for the following:
B14-everything; I don't care if they have to drill the core in some automated manner Hi-thrust BP "E" something on the order of an E20 or E24 C5-3 and C5-0 13mm booster 1/2A's Return of the standard length 13n-sec 18mm "Cox" D8-3 and D8-0 A8-0 and 1/2A6-0 18mm boosters

Yeah, I forgot 1/2A6-0's. Add that to my vote.

I go with the 18mm D8's plus booster, B8-0's and 13mm full A boosters for mini's, plus the E's mentioned above. |

In addition to the above, I'd like to see the B8 (knowing the B14 won't be back), the C5, and a load lifting 24mm BP "E" motor from one of the BP motor manufacturers to go along with the E9...maybe an E20 or something. I'd love to see Rocketflite's BP line come back, both Silver Streak and regular motors. I'm not really interested in going back to HPR, so I would be happy with the F50. It might be interesting if they could develop a 24mm E class motor too, but it would have to be pretty long to get enough Silver Streak propellant in it to be useful. |

I have a question to ask of the posters to this thread.
What exactly do we want collectively? (1)DO we want to see Estes or Estes-lite to reproduce OLD Estes engine OR (2) Do we want SOMEBOY/ANYBODY to produce NEW BP model rocket engines in more variety? which is more important to you? terry dean nar 16158
