My next Estes build is a old kit that I have never seen in a Estes catalog. From the looks of things, I would guess early 80s. This kit is in great condition, easy to clone but I will build it out of the box. This rocket is almost 3 ft tall.

Post-1980, for sure. The kit is an 18mm remake of the #1271 Renegade, which the kit list says was produced from 1975 to 1980. It never showed up in the regular catalogs; I looked back through the Ninfinger collection from 1980 through 1989 and found no reference to it.

Cool! Scan everything!
The old Renegade was a great performer. I had no idea they rethought the design, but I have seen this somewhere before.

This would be a great bird for B6-4 Field. I can imagine giving it a try on a C6-5 up there and getting it back.

Two questions:
1. What kind of altitude does it get on the C6-5?
2. Where did you fly that had its own set of bleachers?

A) I think I'm coming in somewhere in the 500-600ish range.

B) That picture was taken at the AMA field at Muncie. Probably make at least one trip this summer since primary (Corn) field will be otherwise occupied.

Needs a 29mm mount, not an 18.
