I built and flew a page of the 1977 Estes catalog. And this weekend I may do another one.

Impressive BIll! I'm working on the same Estes page (with the Cherokee D). Got the Cherokee and Demon complete, the Renegade constructed (not detailed) and all the parts for the Sky Raider. We're going to have to get together some time and launch all of them.

I built an original Pegasus last year, which was the second one I built.
The first I built back in '82 or '83. Never understood how THAT could be a Skill Level 2, but the 4FNC stubby Astron Goblin was a Skill Level 3; and no, I don't buy that because it took a "D" it should be a "3" as the BUILD is actually easier than a Skill level 2 Astron Demon with a payload bay and the same "D" engine.

One more vote for the Centuri Space Shuttle. +1 for the Centuri Defender as well. I'd like to see the Centuri Long Tom, Quasar and Sky Lab too.

Oh and yes, I'd like to see the 20" and 24" Centuri-like or (pre-Damon) Estes-like checkerboard chutes done by Semroc - just like the current 12" ones. I know this isn't practical but I still would like to see them. I'd buy a bushel of them.

I'd like to see Semroc offer a Nylon chute upgrade for all the kits that can fit their bulk as an option. I have all but given up on cheap plastic and mylar chutes for the kits that can carry nylon chutes.
Semroc already includes them in their "SLS" kits. One kit that should include this FOR SURE is the Saturn 1B; I know it would increase the cost, but after spending all the time to build this one, do you really want to trust it to a plastic "garbage bag" 32 inch chute ? To me it makes little if any sense that the little SLS Jaguar comes with Nylon, but the S1B does not. I'd gladly rather pay for a single 30" or dual 18" nylon chutes for my S1B....I already have Thrustline nylon (very nice & affordable) chutes for my 2 S1B kits. Anything of ST-13/BT-55 size can easily accomodate a nylon chute.
