I really don't think that you will be seeing any B14's of anytype coming out of Estes. This was made very clear along time ago, unfortunately.

True enough. But I thought that you were asking about what we would LIKE to see, vs. what we would EXPECT to ever see again. Mark \\.

Your original post did not specify vendor. If you were to ask which mini boosters we'd like to see come from Estes I'd say that would be a worthless question to ask. It's not going to happen unless they come out with a kit that would use them. You're probably right about B14's from any vendor considering how difficult they are to produce.

We all know how long BP motors can last if taken care of. Estes should embark on one or two "limited edition" motor runs each year. Just pick one discontinued motor, make a limited run, and sell it at a premium price. Call me a fool, but I'd pay $12.00 or maybe even more for a 3 pack of A8-0's or 1/2A6-0's. I would probably stock up with a couple of dozen motors because I would know they wouldn't be available for a very long time.
It might even be better to just sell these booster motors in 24 packs to the general public. They could sell them to retailers in 24 packs and let the retailers break them out for 3 pack sales. Just wishful thinking, I guess. |

It's hard to narrow down to three, but I'd like to see:
1. 1/2A3-0T 2. B8-0 3. C5-0 Although I've never used either the B8-0 or C5-0, it seems like they would make excellent booster engines, even for a three stage rocket. If that is known to be wrong, then I'd substitute the C11-0 for the C5-0. |

Maybe if the list was rekindled, they would. I guess we can have a christmas wish list and hopefully, it will come true. |
