    Hobbylinc (Lack of SU composite motors) 24mm

    Is it me or am I imagining things. I wanted to pick up some SU 24mm composite motors and found that there wasn't much to chose from. I would have bought reloads, but I don't have the hardware for a 24mm only 29mm

    I ended up buying a couple F32T-8's and of course some black powder, but I always thought they had a wider selection of SU motors? In fact I can't even find the motors I used in ROCKSIM for the flight simulations. So now I'm trying something I'm unsure, just picked something with the same delay...hope it works?

    I don't know what you were looking for but hobbylinc has the bad habit of mixing SUs and reloadables on the website. They do have E20s and E30s in stock though.

    Yep that's a good way of doing it but the E30s they have in stock are Estes.

    I wonder if they are having problems with the motors themselves - especially after reading one of the other posts about having problems with the SU's cato-ing. May be that they are recieving complaints about the motors and so are waiting to see if Estes fixes the problems before they re-stock them. I know that the Hobby Lobby near me has had some complaints about them.

    Yea I just noticed that. Went back on the site. I figure I'll pick some up next time, but most of the ones they have are 29mm, which is fine because I have the hardware for that.

    thanks
