Oh YEAH!!! I can't wait for these to come back! I've got some A10-0T motors already (but once they're re-certified, I can use them without going through the OOP motor program! ), but I'm really looking forward to the A8-0 motors. This is gonna be fun!

As we know, the B14 our totally OUT.

But, that doesn't mean that other motors aren't down the road.

Starting off with the two boosters, and, having the B6-0's in three packs is just a start.

Any other motor would need to be recertified, and, like I mentioned previously, that takes time.

Has anyone mentioned yet how incredible it is that instead of just consolidating their motor offerings even further, Estes seems to actually be *listening* to ye olde rocketeers who have been asking for more booster motors and other things?

Maybe they *do* care what you all think, and *don't* really enjoy being the "bad guy" in so many people's minds.

At least Towerhobbies sells the B6-0 in 3 packs now. I have place my order all ready. Still have not seen these at the local hobby store.

From the list that was compiled here about a month ago and passed through, the A8-0 and the A10-3T was the most requested booster motor besides the B6-0 that is now available in a three pack.

At least we have to give them time to prove themselves, but, it's a good start. Kits and motors.

I saw the B6-0 in my Hobby Lobby today as well.

I still think a limited special class run of B14s can be made on an automated horizontal drill press in a special area. Think of cigarettes flowing down the machines you have seen on TV.

As they roll down sideways on the ramp, a tiny tree splitter like device grabs the motor and pushes the drill into it, pulls it out, blows air, does it a second time, releases and the next motor flows into it.

Now let see how much that machine costs???

OK probably would not be able to pay it back plus the investment profit unless someone ponied up the money ahead of time for a large order of them.
