    Why did Estes stop production of core burner motors like the B-14? Do you think they would ever make them again?

What problems might I...

    Good use for used CTI 38mm reloads

    I had an AT 38/720 case with a liner stuck in it( yes I greased it) anyway I tried to tap it out with a "1 wood dowel. It was not working too well . I had a empty Cesi 38mm reload cartridge sitting on my workbench. I put it in the Rousetech case, tapped it and the liner came right out. pretty cool:D
