Estes E30? question / history
Can anyone shed any light on what if anything happened with the Estes E30 engines ?
These (E30-5, E30-7) were listed as reccommended engines for the 1990's Pro Series Terrier/Sandhawk combo rocket along with several D12 and E15's. I know the story of the E15 being "kaboom" prone but never saw or heard anything of the E30s....what's the deal here ? Were these never brought out due to problems with the E15's ? Does anyone have any samples ? Would like to add one to my collection. I assume these were BP motors, as this was before Estes was associated with North Coast/Dark Star. Incidentally, I have several E15 Estes motors NIP, and whenever I have used them, they performed flawlessly, which is NOT something I can say for my stock of FSI D18/D20/E60/F100 engines. With exception of the F100, the FSI core-burners have CATOed on me at least 40% of the time. The F100 has been about 20% kabooms.
