I had read somewhere that Hobby Lobby only stocks motors that are used by model rocket kits they carry. But, Im not really sure if any kits they carry recommend C11-3. Our HL has never carried any. Actually, I don’t think they’ve ever had any C11 motors, booster or with delay. With the demise of the E9-6, our HL now has E12-6 motors, as of yesterday. They have never stocked any E12 motors. I bought the only pack they had, having never tried any. Heck, I’ve never seen any for sale at the local hobby shop.

For quite some time now, our HL has only been putting out one each of any E or F motors. I’m curious if this a widespread practice? They replace that single E or F if I buy one, apparently immediately, near as a I can tell, when my wife and I have visited two days in a row. She crafts, I stock up on motors — thankfully the store is close.
