Centuri "Super C" C5-0S
What is "Super C" I found some C5-0S at a Hobby Shop and the owner could not tell me what the "Super" was for..

It was a sales gimmick, like "Super Heavy Duty" for crappy carbon zinc batteries.
They have a higher initial thrust than normal C6 motors and then they have a very low and long sustaining thrust. Total impulse was about .5 Newton-seconds more than a C6 motor. http://nar.org/SandT/pdf/Estes/C5.pdf Estes and Centuri motors were identical and made on the same machines in Penrose CO. |

What hobby shop would that be and what other OOP motors do they stock? :) |
In Kenosha, WI. He is closing and selling Super C5-0S 3 packs for $1. I bought all of them, and all his Centuri A8-0. All Estes are $3 a pack. All rocket kits %40 off... l'll be going back soon...

Care to divulge which shop? |
That's a great "score."
You won't be able to use the C5-0S at most NAR-insured launches, because they're long out of certification, but if you have your own field you can use them to get models like a Farside clone off the pad. |

They will also lift a 1/100 scale Estes/Centuri Saturn 1B for small field applications where a D12 is too much. :cool: |
INCORRECT.
You can easily use them at an NAR launch by following the simple steps to get approval to test them under the expired motor test program. http://www.nar.org/pdf/Expired%20Mo...rocedures.p df Quote:
