>Just discovered that there is a payload section to hold an altimeter.

I can suggest at least 50 others that would be worthy.


Would any of those '50' sell 5K-10K a year?
That's Estes' usual yearly sales figures for a successful model.
The original Pro Series II kits were discontinued because they failed to to meet the goal of 5,000 of each kit sold per year.

New Shepard is has been in the headlines and will be once again, especially if William Shatner takes a ride in one.

I kindly request this thread be relocated, as the "Vendors" forum is for vendors to post, not consumers.
