At $11.79/pak direct from Estes, I'm waiting for AC Supply to get them. Then I'll order $150.00 worth.
Estes site shows "out of stock" at bottom of C5-3 page.

THAT didn't take long. They were showing as "in stock" when I posted earlier....

I'm sure there are plenty more, they just need to be moved into the portion of the warehouse from which mail orders are fulfilled, so they should reappear "in stock" as soon as tomorrow.

Even if they aren't in the warehouse, Estes has the ability to produce BP engines at an astounding rate if they want to.

Still nothing at AC Supply.

Estes' mail order department is stocked with items and when an item is at zero, they show it 'out of stock'. This often just means that they have to wait for restocking from the warehouse. So if something is "out of stock", it may be back in shortly. They may be suffering from reduced staff like a lot of companies.

It seems that most of the hobby distributors and mail order places that stock Estes were not told about the C5-3. If Estes is shipping today, engines would take some time to get to them.

The C5-3 motors are available again on the Estes website.

I went ahead and ordered four packs.

Might as well stock up on motors until I am able to launch rockets.
