Default Estes Model Rocket Launch Systems

Thanks to Don Altschwager we now have the Estes publication, "A Learning Guide for Model Rocket Launch Systems" by Robert L. Cannon.

This is the publication that was included with the Phantom Electro-Launch.

Thanks for posting, Scott.
I have read most all of Estes and Centuri literature and have never seen let alone read this document.

I think I got this and some of the Technical Reports and Study guide from my Middle School Industrial Arts teacher in 1976.

So it was revised in 1976 to use the E-Beam instead, plus the new igniters.

Then again in 1999, I think to change to the "motor plug" drawing.

And then again in the early 2000s when Ann Grimm was standardizing the "Estes Educator" branded material.

It is still available from the Estes website, though I didn't find the link to it on site ... Google knew the way in, though. The current item number is #2811 and bears a copyright of 2012.
