NRHSA Trade Show
 
I was just wondering if there are any Trade People on this forum that will be attending the NRHSA show this weekend? Estes will have the Latest Pro Series Model on display there. I think most of you will like it. As usual I can't talk about it until it has been shown in public.

I'm going to deliver the scoop:

John is talking about . . .

The MEGA-DUDE!

2.6' in diameter and 37' tall! Comes with its own compressor and inflatable launch pad which doubles as a Bounce Castle to keep the kids entertained if it rains on launch day.

Well, let's see. You showed the nose cone and fins for a 3" Nike-Smoke at NARCON, so that is my bet. Several of us may have convinced you over beer that we would like to see the big Pershing 1A back; it would make my year if that was the case.

It would be GREAT if it is one of the kits that gets repeatedly asked for on the forums as a bring-back like the Maxi-Brute Pershing 1A or the 1/45 Scale Little Joe II.
ANYTHING complicated and scale would be nice as long as it is not ANOTHER freakin' V-2 that has been hashed and re-hashed ad nauseum.

John,

It would be great if you or some other attending rocketry person could take pics of the display to post here. Thanks!

A Saturn V with a 29mm mount and conversions included . . . .

A bigger Mean Machine or Cobra 1500.

I'll try to answer some of the questions.

I wont be at the show, so I am hoping some other hobby vendor that posts here can take a photo.

This is a 29mm powered bird.

The Nike Smoke has already been shown, so this isn't it.

Sorry NO Maxi Brutes at this show. The Pershing is still at the top of my list and I will be flying a 29mm motor one by the end of this year for sure. Please remember, just because it's on the top of my list doesn't mean it's going to happen. It only means, it has a chance of happening.

Although the E30 was released under the Pro Seires line, to me the 29mm rockets are Pro Series rockets. The 24mm E30 would be great for a 1/45 scale Little Joe II.
