Nice! Keep 'em coming!

What got my attention was the recommended motor list for the Black Brant III (BT-50).
Recommended Engines: 1/2A6-2, A8-3 (first launch), A8-5, B4-4, B6-4, B6-6, C6-5 and C6-7 The one time I visited Estes I was toured by Mary Roberts and the kit line that day was doing Mean Machines. I saw the igniter machine in action. Was banned from the graphics department. Mary launched a Big Bertha. :D |
The Black Brant III sounds good.
Could easily bash into a Black Brant IV which is much more interesting. Mean Machine should be 29mm powered. Like that it now breaks down for transport. |

It broke down for transport the last time it was produced. |

Black Brant III?
Oh-my-God, Becky! Yes, please! |
Good day, eh!
The Black Brant III? That's great news! Too bad Estes won't ship kits directly to Canadian customers; it might be awhile before I can get my hands on a couple of them this side of "the world's longest undefended border" if our current little "trade war" goes ballistic. ;)

Well Scott, I hold you personally responsible for one of the greatest rockets not being re-released. The Andromeda was one of the leading rockets to replace the SST in the header. Due to inaction, we may never see this exceptional rocket in its Estes's dressing again. :mad: |
