That's great news Fred. I had put a request on the "email me when available" list at Hobbylinc and I received an email on 9/26 that the boosters were in stock there. 33% off plus shipping so I'll wait until those hit the shelf at Hobby Lobby and use a 40% coupon and save the freight.

I'm sure I'll manage to lose one somehow so I'll purchase a second as a spare.

I ordered the 29mm Booster unit from Hobbylinc along with the Trajector and Prowler Launch Set (I want the complete set of rockets) along with many other items to get free shipping.

Now, if they would only get the E16/F15 motors in stock.

I want a complete set of PSII rockets too ... but first I'm working on hoarding the engines

That you have F15-0s is encouraging. None have made it here so far. My local HL restocks on Tuesdays. I'm beginning to form a habit......

Made my Tuesday visit. Got another pack of F15-6s with the in-phone coupon. There were two packs of F15-0s today as well (marked, as discussed on the other forum, at $32.99). No PSII booster stages yet, though.

Odd that they're stocking two packs of F15-0s but only one of each of the others (only E16-8s in stock after I took the F15-6).

Glad to see the F15-0's showed up.

No PSII booster stages yet at my local HL either ....

but new empty space has appeared on the shelf in front of the new engines and right beside the PSII kits!

They had the F15-0 at my local Hobby Lobby yesterday for $24.99/2pak and the F15-6 and F15-8 for $27.99/2pak.
I grabbed 2 paks of F15-6 and 1 of F15-0, all at 40%off. Went thru line the 3 times required with 3 different mobile coupons.
At 40% off, they are reasonably close in price to RMS24 F24 and F39 reloads.

You got a deal on those F15-0 GH.

Those were marked at $32.99 per pack at both Hobby Lobby locations I purchased mine at. Still a good deal though with the 40 off.

Excellent rocket/motor combination!


I flew my Estes Ascender on the first flight recommended F15-6 engine for an awesome flight! Also very little wind in the early morning at our field and a very straight flight profile. Nice altitude with the F15-6 and delay seemed just right. These engines are just perfect for a model of this size and weight.

It looks like all of the 29mm Estes motors except for the F15-0 are in stock at Hobbylinc as of today. I'll bet the F15-0 will show up soon as well (or you can call them and see if they are actually there and the website was simply not updated yet...).
