If they ever produce them again, I want to build a Ranger for a triple B14 cluster.
A pair of A8's have nearly 20 newtons peak thrust, which is nearly 4.4 lbs. |
Tim,
I’ve got an Astron Cobra just waiting for them. 
I only have one B14-6, so I can’t do a cluster, but I’ll pair that with another B14-0 sometime. I have 4 more Estes B14-0 from 1969, and 6 Centuri B14-0 from 1979.
