Estes Mini Max, Magician
Here are the newest kits from Estes. Good quality should be fun builds. Sorry Zep, but I have to build the Mini Max.

Those look like Cherokee-D fins!
I never understood the reason for payload sections that were smaller than the main body. |

I thought the same thing about the fins........

I was thinking the same thing about the fins as soon as I saw them !
NO other kit uses fins of that shape until now. I like the new Magician. May have to pikk one up. The Mini-Max they can KEEP. The only kit that should be named mini-max should take at LEAST 29mm motors like the old Centuri Mini-Max kits.

Lil' Red Max would be appropriate, but it is downright blasphemy to call it a Mini-Max !

I like the Mini Max!
Is that cradle on the Magician balsa sheet for holding the BT while gluing on the fins ? |

My Mini Max and Magician are enroute from Tower Hobbies.
They should arrive early next week, just after my Quest order shows up. Bob |

I figure Estes isn't going to make everyone happy, but they are on the right track. I for one don't really need any of the new kits since my collection is too big already. But I do want to support Estes and what they are trying to do so that's why I am buying them. I think these bring backs will be the real test to see if new rocketeers join the hobby.
