Someone over on TRF just talked to a Customer Service Rep at Estes, who spoke to some production manager...the B6-0 IS being discontinued by Estes.
One more freakin' ignorant decision by the company that likes to call itself the leader in model rocketry.
Estes has not been the leader since sometime around the late 80's when they became a glorified toy company.
I sure am glad I fly on my own land and can use no longer certified motors.
I still have plenty of 1/2A6-0's and A8-0's.
I guess I better buy out the local stock of B6-0's though.
Might as well forget about flying any small 2 stage rockets otherwise.
There is only one thing that needs to be said to Estes and that would be thanks a ton that Semroc exists.
If they started selling/making motors I'd boycott Estes completely.
