Seems strange typing Estes instead of Centuri in front of that name. (A word of warning. It may seem obvious to some, but typing Centuri Long Tom into Google will bring you not only pics of old Centuri catalogs, but also some men apparently genetically related to donkeys.) I've been working on this since the start of summer and despite having no previous interest in the Long Tom, I've really come to admire the finished product. Reminds me of the Estes Avenger, a design that also screamed "model rocket" to me as a kid. I liked the mix of bare tubes and balsa on this one. Very retro, and I'm really coming to appreciate the old school feelings it stirs up.
