Dave Kovar asked me to check with Ron Becherer of Belleville Wholesale Hobby (https://bellevillehobby.com) in Belleville, IL (just 10 miles from my - Darrell Weber - house in Millstadt, IL) about purchase costs for mid-power engines (Black Powder E12-0, 4, 6, 8; E16-0, 4, 6, 8;   F15-0, 4, 6, 8,   and Composite F26-6 and F50-6).

Ron gives a 41% discount, and I can pick them up so their would be no hazmat or shipping charges.

The engines have to purchased in a case, and cases can not be mixed.

Below is a spreadsheet with information about each engine, the Estes cost, and Ron's cost.

When we make an SLRA order Ron isn’t certain when the shipment would arrive. He pointed out the slow drying time for the black powder engines.

If you are interested in ordering any of these engines then e-mail Darrell Weber at: weber.ddw56@gmail.com

Indicate the engine and the number of packs that you want. I will place an order on August 11th if we have a sufficient number of engines (cases) to order. We can settle up the costs at an SLRA meeting once the shipment has arrived.

Check back on this post, for I intend to update the number of engine packs currently requested.
