Composite Dynamics 24mm motor collection - CANCELLED

[NikeRam]

Thanks to everyone who reviewed this listing. No bids means I will dispose of these legally at some remote safe site.

Up for sale is a collection of twenty-five assorted CD 24mm motors all purchased in approx. 1983. These were all purchased directly from CD in Torrance California. The sale includes the following:

24mm Motors

E20-7 6 each loose motors

E20-10 2 each loose motors

E50-8 3 each loose motors; pre-production very rare

F45-8 2 each loose motors

F45-12 2 each loose motors

F40-10 5 each loose motors

F40-15 5 each loose motors

Several motors do not include ignitors or instruction sheets. See the photographs.

During my ownership they have all been stored in an extremely dry southwest US location. Before that I cannot account for their storage & handling at CD.

The seller is aware of CD's reputation for reliability issues. No further discussion is necessary. But if you are are interested in obtaining a good quantity of older 24mm composite motors for a low price, here is your chance.

Note that 3 each E50 motors are included. These were never put into production according to a discussion I had with J. Davis when they were purchased. This fact makes them extremely rare.

Great stuff - too bad you won't ship them, what a great blast from the past.

I enjoyed their 1980 vintage motors. I flew about ten of them in 1980-81 - never had a problem, still have six of them. But I've heard they haven't aged well. I don't currently plan on firing any of my stash.

I kinda remember that they had different nozzles when they first came out and then switched to "plaster" or something a year or two later. Meanwhile, Crown/SSRS introduced their bad assed motors with graphite(?) nozzles.
