I just got confirmation from my hobby industry insider that Estes will be attending the expo this year in IL. Unfortunately for Bob, I'm told that Barry will not be attending.

It will be interesting to see what if anything new they'll be announcing at the expo.

Will it be Estes Corporate, or simply their regional distributor?

I saw Estes make a presence once at the National Science Teachers Association show here in StL, but it was simply their regional distributor. He had nothing to sell on hand, but some catalogs to give out.

"Catalogs" ROFL

I was told Estes, not a representative for Estes.

Well, this should be interesting then. I know my son and I are headed up there for this, so I'll keep you posted.

Am brining a first aid kit though just in case . . .

Any rocketry news, yet, from the iHobby Show?

Bob

I think we're going to see a lot of "Classics" coming back. A lot of them.

Yes, indeed, Estes is there now, today and tomorrow for the "Trade" Sat and Sun for everyone.

Estes, Penrose, their sales reps will be there representing the company.

Surprises, that's all I can say right now.
