Overstable By Design
I'm not really sure why this motor went by the wayside, but as a kid, I remember these were some of the best B motors Estes ever produced. I would especially like to see them come back with a B14-0. I was thrilled when LW handed me a pack of B14-0's at the last launch, and being a Centuri motor, it didn't have quite the impulse we expected. I flew a 3 stage rocket of my own design using the B14 for 1st, a B6 for 2nd, and a B6-6 for 3rd. The B14 was a really short burst, and left us scratching our heads. I'd never used one of those before and I didn't really know what to expect. The rocket flew fine, but I don't think it was any match for the Estes B14. Do you think if we barked loud enough, Estes will hear the call?
