Message-ID: <6189@ecsvax.uncecs.edu> Date: 10 Jan 89 03:58:09 GMT Distribution: sci Organization: Triangle R&D Corp,RTP,NC Lines: 15 [sorry for extending this discussion on sci.space.shuttle] All this talk re model rocketry has peaked an old interest in a long-ago hobby. I have a number of old engines from the late 60's to early 70's , all Estes A and B series. Anyone got any idea how reliable these would still be? They have been kept cool and dry for the time, so little to no breakdown of the propellant or recovery charge should have occurred. I might get ol' Big Bertha out and find out myself... -- * Charles Lord ..!decvax!mcnc!ecsvax!cjl Usenet (old) * * Cary, NC cjl@ecsvax.UUCP Usenet (new) * * #include cjl@ecsvax.BITNET Bitnet * * #include cjl@ecsvax.uncecs.edu Internet *
