There are a variety of vendors besides Belleville with C11 stocks at prices that are reasonable. There are even the older 3 packs that can be found that are still below the retail price per motor.

I have a few Mercury Redstones kits that I will be shortening so that the C6-3 will actually get them off the ground. I had planned on using C11s to compensate for the low C6 thrust. This is one example of a kit that worked well 25 years ago with a "real" C6-3 motor. Today's C6s are a marginal thrust device.
