They might not have been stable with a C6, so they either crashed, or hit escape velocity.

I just checked Ninfinger's Catalog site -
The Centuri 1/100th Little Joe only recommended the A5-2, A8-3 and B4-4 engines. A C6-5 would certainly fit but was probably unstable.

I built two of the Estes style 1/100 Little Joe II models. "T" engines for those versions.
