I see the standard Saturn V (as compared to the Skylab Saturn V) makes a comeback in the new catalog.

I like that launch rail. Saw it on Facebook first. Looks fairly beefy - certainly enough for PSII kits.

Estes was doing rail before rail was cool. I have a number of pieces of C-Rail (and the coveted connectors) in my collection.

Thanks for doing this, Turbo. It'll make it easy for Don Altschwager and I to get the Estes Kit List updated for '24.

That Olympus starter kit and Green Eggs starter kit sounds cool.
Something bigger than the typical Alpha III set. Years ago Estes offered the "Pro Demo" Maxi Alpha 3 starter set which was a nice size too. At one time Centuri offered a Saturn V starter set. Extremely challenging first build for a non-hobbyist, but actually EASY for anyone used to building R/C aircraft.

Green Eggs is a workhorse of a payload model and the Olympus (which shares the same plastic parts, but in different colors), is as well. It IS a nice size.

I like HCM's "Scrambler" decals he custom made for his Green Eggs build better than the Olympus silliness.

Agreed. The Olympus decal is pretty silly. The model works well, though.
