Default New Estes sale

Haven't seen a post about this. Good stuff. Skydart, Sprint XL, etc. I will be partaking.

Looks like my prediction a month ago was pretty accurate.

I already ordered a couple PSII kits, the budget is a bit tight but the free shipping sealed the deal.

Thanks for the heads-up.
The Sky Dart II is actually priced at a level I'm willing to pay for a small BT-50 based boost-glider, $8.49, not the ridiculous MSRP of $28.99 that my LHS has had on their three kits that have been sitting for THREE years.

I was reading the reviews for the Dorffler Sprint. One person commented the plastic tail cone made the engine hook more difficult. I was thinking how much nicer a BT-70 29mm Sprint would be with a traditional paper tail cone. Stick the motor mount 1/2" out the rear so traditional Enerjet 2250/2650 style motor retention can be used.

I have shipped quite a bit of stuff to Canada and a few other places and honestly Canada Post is just plain uncooperative.

Kingston, Ontario is so close to the border, perhaps a postal box in New York would help.
