If anyone has a spare pack (or loose motors) or two of any of the following motors I'd like to buy some (if you can ship):

1/2A3-0T
A3-0T
A3-6T
B4-anythingM (centuri mini/13mm-B)
1/2A6-0
A8-0
1/2A6-4
A5-4
B8-0
B8-3
B8-5
B8-7
B14-anything
18mm Cox D8's
C11-0
D11-9

E15-anything (the famed Estes CATO motors)

Certification Status does not matter as I fly on my own land.
Not particular to any brand either.

Also, I'm interested in obtaining an Enerjet E24/F52/F67 for my collection that will not be flown.

Well, I have an Enerjet E24-4 in an unopened package, but I'm not sure I'm not sure I want to part with it...

If you have a figure in mind, PM me with how much it would take for you to part with the E24 if interested....
I however will not just make an offer for the motor...this is not ebay.

Let me think about it. I wasn't being a clever salesman when I said I wasn't sure I wanted to part with it....I'm really not sure. I've had it since it was new...

ANYONE ??????
I really need some 1/2A3-0T's and 1/2A6-0's
I want to launch my T-series Beta and Astron Midget each 2-stage ONCE before relegating them to single stage only flight.

I have plenty of A10-0T's and A8-0's (both also now OOP), but do not want to use these for the 1st flight booster engine as they are too much power for these small rockets (I want BOTH stages back).

Just one of each would be GREAT !
I'm not concerned with the motors being out of certification....I fly on my own private land.

I have a few B14's and D11-9's still in their blister paks (sealed), but like the other responder
I'll be hard pressed to part with them. They have a lot of sentimental value to me (can't really be measured in terms of $$$). I also have quite a few vintage FSI motors: F100's, F7's
E60's, D18's etc., to name a few...

I'll have to go and see what delay(s) I have...I think I may have more than one pak of B14's
(maybe from Estes and Centuri). It may be sometime tomorrow before I can give an answer
(on what I have -- not necessarily on parting with them!?).

ANYONE ????
I'm just looking for a few loose motors here....they don't have to be sealed paks.
(provided they were stored at least semi-properly)

Hey ghrocketman, I haven't forgotten your plea...it's been raining a lot here in the Houston
area over the last several days. My collection of vintage motors is in my storge shed out back (under lock and key) and just haven't been able to get to it. I'll make an effort to get
it inside the house, do an inventory, and will post what I have, hopefully later today...

Ok, this is what I have:

Motors already opened:

Estes: 1/2A3-4T 7, A3-6T 4, A3-4T 2, 1/4A3-4T 1, 1/4A3-2T 1, A8-3 3, 1/2A6-4 3, C6-7 1, C6-3 3, C6-5 2, C6-7 2, A8-5 3, B6-4 1, 1/2A6-2 1, C6-0 2, B14-0 1, B14-5 1, D13-3 1, D12-3 1, D12-5 2, D12-7 2, and D12-0 1.
Centuri: A4-2m 3, A8-3 5, B6-4 2, and B14-5 2.
MPC: 1/2A3-3m 1, B3-7m 2, and A3-2 1.
FSI: E60-4 2, F7-6 2, and F100-8 2.

Motors still sealed (or, in the case of Centuri, with the red, white & blue matchbox) in their packages:

Estes: 1/2A3-0T 1, 1/4A3-2T 2, 1/2A6-0 1, A8-3 1, A8-5 1, B4-6 1, B6-2 1, B6-4 2, B14-5 1,
B14-7 1, C6-3 3, C6-5 2, C6-7 1, D12-0 1, D12-5 1, and D11-9 1.
Centuri: A8-3 2, B4-4 1, B6-4 4, and B14-5 1.

About 80% of the motors listed above were purchased in the early 1970's; the rest in the
early 1980's. A word of caution: When I became a BAR in late 2003 (after a 20+ year
absence from the hobby), I flew several models using some of the motors from this batch;
the first three flights got off the pad just fine, but the ejection charge was virtually
nonexistent. After the first three models lawndarted, I came to the conclusion that the
age of the motors must have had an effect on the ejection charge. Afterwards, I made sure I used newly purchased motors from Wal-Mart, Hobby Lobby, and the local mail order vendor (http://www.launchpad2000.com/).

Are you interested in selling any of the B14's ?

Send me a private e-mail with a quote of what you're willing to offer...remember that there's
a hazardous shipping fee (or something like that) that has to be taken into consideration, and any shipping/insurance. Then we can go from there. Thanks.
