Scored At The Local Hobby Shop Today
I stopped by the local Hobby Shop at lunch today. To say this HS is messy would be an understatement. It is common pratice to have to step over boxes and or push some out of the way with your foot. Well, today as I was kicking my way through, trying to make it to "rocketry corner", I had to slide a red hand held shopping basket out of the way with my foot. When it stopped sliding whatever was on top of the basket slid off into the floor. As I stooped down to pick it up, I noticed the basket was full of Aerotech SU F25-9W's. I rummaged through the basket and look what I found...........
The F100 package was missing a motor, but the price had been adjusted to reflect that.

OK, I'll tell ya, but don't tell Don. The F7-6 package was $11.99 and the sticker on the opened F100's was for the same amount, but after a bit of negotiation the opened package was discounted to a whopping $5.99. The dates printed on the motors kinda helped........... "Man, these are kinda old *and* they been opened."

If you are brave, you could put one each of those in a minimum-diameter two-stager.
I tried that combo once, but the F7 didn't ignite. Heartbreaking. |

I was going to guess $20 for the whole load.
