All of those designs look pretty good. Wow, we will be able to get some builder type kits from WM again? Hope these will actually see the light someday.


Not the Farside -- look carefully at the sustainer fins...

That's a Sky Hook sustainer on the Apogee booster!

Kudos to Estes for recycling their K-Series designs.

I'm with Doug, I've never had a problem staging to a B6. I'd rather see a B8 or C5.


I think those are the same fins, but it's probably on a BT-20 body instead of BT-30...

Cool. I just hope it works with ALL browsers, unlike their current site.

WOW!

There are some SERIOUSLY cool looking models in that line!

Now, I am SERIOUSLY over-bought on rocket kits right now. But I'll still buy a few of those.

I had a laugh over the "biodegradable" ad copy. Who wants a model that falls apart?

But then again, a lot of models DO end up in the trees, or lost in weeds. May as well get turned into birds' nests.

They are watching their competition. Most of us small companies have always been "green" and "sustainable." Now that Estes-Cox is throwing out the plastic, we must have been doing it right all along.

Now to get the new marketing program rolling on our catalog of over 500 unique bio-degradable, green, sustainable, eco-friendly balsa parts. Hmm.. do we raise the prices because they are so good for the environment?

Believe it or not, this really happened at Little Rock AFB during an air show. Someone just pulled up to the display and hooked it up to the hitch on their truck. As far as I know, they never did find it.
