This is remarkable because production Estes motors' delays tend to run a bit short (with the exception of the C5-3) and sometimes quite a bit. I've had some recent B6-4s with 2.5s delays.


I guess I should have said "what others besides the eight second delay" have you tried, if any (I did notice that one you posted was eight seconds). If you have not tested others, have you heard (and can say) what the other delays might be?

I have only seen/flown the one. It would make sense that they would have the same variety of delays as E12s, so 0, 4, 6, 8. But that's just speculation on my part.

I think, from something John has said, that there were some boosters made as well. No idea about the intervening delays.
