I still have some of the little AVI 10mm 1/8A motors and a couple AVI 18mm super-long D motors.
I remember flying a few Canaroc B6-4's and C motors...same length as an Estes 18mm motor but had strange-looking shiny black plastic nozzles that were slightly convex from the end of the tube.

I never got a chance to use any Crown composites. How did they perform? Were they as clean burning as Enerjets?

I bought and fired over 10 Crown E-45's back in the early 80's. They performed well, but I don't remember of the exhaust was clear or if it was smoky. Way too much water under the bridge

I always liked those CD Pro-Jet motors.
Very easy to ignite; I almost always just used plain Solar igniters.
