The C5-3 was purchased from a hobby shop 4 weeks ago "new" old stock in the "old" estes packaging...I bought their remaining 4 packs.....shame Estes discontinued these...there is nothing a C6-3 can do that a C5-3 won't do better !
The C6-3 should have been the motor they discontinued.

The A8-3's and B6-4's were from a new BL Flight Pak purchased less than a month agom at Michael's craft store.

Obviously the B6-0 would not have smoke

The C6-7 came from a pack purchased in the last 6 months at a local hobby shop.

If these are the "better" than 3 yrs ago Estes motors, I'm sure glad I did not have them.

The C5-3 had about the same smoke as all the other "modern" motors.

They could solve this by doing something simple.....CHANGE BACK TO THE OLD FORMULA !

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL
, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !

Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, and HAVOC !
