Upcoming Estes kits at NARAM 53
 
Some pretty impressive birds in this bunch. I got to see the Hi-Flier upscale fly, which was impressive. The Mosquito upscale and an upcoming pop-pod glider also looked good. I only caught the tail end of the Xarconian Cruiser flight.


L to R: Asteroid Hunter, Mosquito upscale, Zarconian Cruiser, Hi-Flier upscale, Maxi-Alpha 3, forgot the name of this one.

John, get that new cone into your nosecone list! :D

The big bird to the right of the Mega Mosquito was made from recycled water bottles. It came back in over the flightline and whacked some guy in the head. It broke a fin, but not any skin. Solid hit, though. This is a shot of the aftermath.

I've got more, but I need to hit the pool for a while.

Looks like one of Art Upton's cameras taped on it. I hope the owner puts the head shot video online. :cool:
