There's a lot to like in there, something for just about everyone. I just hope they actually do make it to market with the classics and some of the interesting new releases.

Sadly, still no Saturns...

When I saw the CC Express, I got my hopes up that the C11-0 and C11-5 were back. Unfortunately, they aren't.

A flicker of light?

The catalog is a step in the right direction and there seem to be more offerings but unless I missed something, I didn't see any kind of major NASA related. like the Saturns, Titam, etc.

So I guess they'll be pushing all those kits into late 2011, or even the 50th Apollo landing anniversary. It will be interesting to see what the new owners will do with those kinds of kits, expanded or reduced engine line and prices. It will also be interesting to see if they remain in the Walmarts. It is nice to buy a pack of A-C engines for $3-$6, on occassion. We'll still get our odd delays and D's from Brian at BRS.

And it's nice to see the catalog come back as a print version as well, instead of just a pdf.

I agree with you Randy, Estes is going in the right direction and I hope that they continue to do so

Did I hear/read correctly: that the re-release of the Saturn V kit is being made in the US? Is production of ALL Estes kits being moved back to the US?

2 quick comments after a fast scan:

1) Why would the Helicat recommend a C6-3 and a C6-7? I think only the C6-3 is wise and woould not use a C6-5 and definitely never use a C6-7.

2) Where did the photo of the lower 2 stages of the Comanche 3 disappear to?
