Lee, That's for the compliment. I won't be flying the Patriot in my neighborhood. Too many rocket eating trees.

Estes 24mm E-57 engine
I keep reading about an Estes 29mm E50 or so size engine. There is no such thing. The eninge in question is a 24mm E-57 engine that uses the same case as the E12 engines. Don't ask me when this engine will be available, since I haven't a clue, but it's going to be a while. Since I plan on fireing a minimum diameter rocket tomorrow using one of these engines I though I take a picture of the nozzle, so you can see how it compares to the Estes E12 engine.

ESTES E57 Engine
WOW I sure hope this thing makes it to market, I for one love Mid Power Black Powder.
Back in the 1980's I used to launch 3-4 Flight Systems powered models at every launch, the new E57 motor should be great, it would be my guess : the trust curve is around .7 of a second and the thrust will spike at around 30 to 35 pounds. I just hope that it is a lot more reliable than the Flight Systems E60. This engine will be the new balsa shredder for sure.

That E57 sounds great.
It will fill a void that has existed in SU BP engines since the demise of the FSI F100 and far less available Rocketflite F50/G110/H220. I for one will buy a lot more of those than the E9/E12. The only thing I don't understand is why it takes SOOOOOOOOO long to bring out new motors.
