Pictures?
Can someone put some pictures of real Estes rockets on here? The cuurent upscale picture is nice, but's it's not of an actual Estes product and might be misleading since it is a high-power rocket, while Estes only produces low-power rockets. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 19:58, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
Max Total Impulse?
According to Reg-D, Model Rocket Engine Instructions, Estes Industries: the first letter of an Estes engine Equal, exactly, Total impulse or total power. "B" has twice the impulse of "A"; "C" has twice that of "B"; etc.
1/2 A = 1.25 Newton/seconds; A = 2.5 N/S; B = 5 N/S; C = 10 N/S; D = 20 N/S; exactly. Only the Average Thrust varies by the number after the letter.This follows a power curve.
The links at bottom of page for the footnotes no longer work and a would be wrong, anyway. A print of the power curve would be informative and corresponding numbers to all three Estes codes would be very informative.68.231.189.108 (talk) 18:34, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
Picture of "Estes Engine"?
Also, the last engine in the picture is Not an Estes but a reloadable "composition" motor made by Aerotech, that would equal an Estes "F"; if they made them.
