I was visiting one of my local hobby shops this morning and discovered an Estes kit I did not know had been released.

According to the Estes website, this kit is listed as "Coming Soon".

Maybe Estes has licensed the Semroc production/transport system.

I saw the kit listed on (I think) AC Supply's website sometime maybe early last week and wondered whether it was 'out' yet or not. *I think* the AC Supply site listed it then as 'in stock' (but don't quote me on that).

I know I saw it on *some* supplier's website last week.

Rocket-Brained Since 1970

Found one at my local Hobby Lobby for $9.99 today(5/5/11).

QUANTITY: 1

Very important marking for a kit.

Wouldn't want to get sued by a customer buying this product and then becoming irate and litigious after finding only one kit inside instead of the usual 73 they expected.

Got one from AC just the other day.

You'd be surprised what lawyers/bureaucrats/politicians want on labels... Back when I was working as a bakery's IT/accounting person, a health inspector threatened to write us up for not having "may have come into contact with peanuts" on the label, as everything else did. The product: Peanut Butter Cookies.

Now we have people complaining because a product is early?

I got one at the local hobby shop yesterday. Right off I made a couple of changes. First I added a engine hook with a hold down tube. Then I drilled a small hole in the forward centering ring and added a kevlar thread for shock cord mounting. I had to get started on this one since the Honest John has always been a favorite.

Glad to see that if you were going to use a engine hook retainer ,it was an old style one and not the newer type. I would highly recooment you add the diamond airfoil shape to the fins, since the mdoel looks so much better with them then just the plain rounded leading edges.
