The B8 and C5 series were decent motors in that they could lift a good bit more than the run of the mill B6 or C6 motors, but they were no B14/original B3.
I have quite a few B8, C5 and B14 motors in my stash and still fly a few of them each year. Needless to say I fly on my own private land and am not the least concerned whether their "certification" has lapsed. Probably at least 25-30% of the BP SU motors I regularly fly have been de-certed....never had a CATO either with any of them except the following: Estes C5-3's from the "bad" lot before I knew it was bad Estes E15-x, about 30% CATO rate for everything but the E15-P, which has NEVER CATOed for me to this day & I still fly the "P" variety, but nothing else. FSI E60-x; over 75% CATOs FSI F100-x; at least 30% CATOs The majority of the B14's I have are of the B14-0 variety. I am down to around only 3-4 packs of B14-5's and 7's. I think I only have 2-3 loose B14-6's left
