I called Estes and they promptly sent me another decals sheet for the Olympus, so if you need (2) more lightning bolt decals PM your mailing address to me and I’ll get them in the mail to you as soon as I return from Lugoff, SC.

Bummer. I guess folks that can't print decals or don't want to contact Estes can paint one fin a solid off color like the Goblin or Citation Patriot. It should still look good and satisfy our decal OCD at the same time.

Finished putting the decals on my Hob Lob Vapor today. Once I opened the kit, idk the fins are kind of small and the decals meh, so I made this upscale instead. My homemade decals are not so great but it was my last sheet of decal paper. The nose cone is not correct but I am really happy with it. Just have to add the retainer and future shine.

Default New egg lofter comparison

Here is my just-completed (and now twice flown shortly after this picture was taken) Olympus alongside my Green Eggs, which uses the same plastic parts (just molded in different colors).

Default Estes Motor Variety Pack

Don’t know if this is a Hobby Lobby exclusive or not,
But I haven’t seen them anywhere else ( except for some of the older
Starter kits). Contains 1 ea. A8-3, B6-4 & C6-5.

The Rocket Science Starter Set, #005302 includes those three motors but I don’t see the multipack motor set being sold separately anywhere else but HL yet. It’s not on Estes website or for sale at AC Supply or Belleville Hobby. With Aerotech offering a similar pack of different powered QJet motors I wouldn’t be surprised if Estes does as well, as a regular retail item.

I see the new Q-Jet assortment (https://www.asp-rocketry.com/ecomme...t=130&navPanel=) as a sort of "Blast Off Flight Pack" https://estesrockets.com/product/00...ff-flight-pack/

I have not seen that 1A, 1B and 1C motor package anywhere else but HL. But oddly, they don't carry the Rocket Science Starter Set.

Another mystery of merchants' stocking decisions, I guess.

Is there a good list of all the hobby lobby exclusives?

Just going on their website I'm guessing all the blue labeled packaged kits are the exclusives?

Cherokee E
Long Ranger
Epic II
Luna Bug
Tigres
ESAM-58
Solo
Cadet
Olympus
Vapor

Those are the ones that seem to be unless I'm incorrect?

The Vapor is currently out of stock on HL's website, for anyone looking.
