I have no 21mm x 70mm motors left. I used the last ones in the late '80s.

OK. I broke out the camera again.

Late-80s, maybe early 90s B6-5 motors:

I maybe bought three or four FSI 18mm motor packs . . . just wasn't worth specially getting them when there were MRC and Estes motors a plenty around. When I bought FSI it was the big stuff.

Same-era E6-5:

I bought and used plenty of those! I pretty much wore out my poor old Viking II.

Ditto, E60-6:

I burned a fair number of these through the years, but not compared to my F100 count!

This is what an FSI igniter looked like. It might not be an actual FSI igniter, but a substitute sold by North Coast Rocketry. They were essentially a 1" to 4" long piece of thermalite wick. A brittle stick of flammable stuff wrapped in wires and then wrapped in floss-like protective fabric.



I have some "naked" 21mm x 95mm D18 motors and some F100 and F7 motors which I will photograph another day.
