I noticed that just after the pic posted. The guy who took the hit was unhurt, but slightly mortified. I didn't want to ask him to pose for a post-impact shot.

The upcoming Asteroid Hunter. Asteroid Hunter belly shot. Asteroid Hunter shell with nose and tail cone. (Sorry. I adjusted this one, but it didn't take.) John models the Asteroid Hunter shell. Didn't see this one fly. Yet.

I think it is both funny and cool the Mosquito includes an original Mosquito in the kit.
The Asteroid Hunter has built up construction not so much for weight reduction but for arbitrary shape technology. I did it for weight reduction in the 80's. Nice photos and more to the point, nice products! Jerry |

Really liked the looks of the tube cutting guide. That's one I'll definitely pick up when I see one. I did see a couple of people flying with the engine adapters and heard no complaints. I was going to head out along vendor row, but the hurricane rolled in before I could get over that way. By the time it blew out, my second RSO shift was started. Hopefully, I'll get to visit the rest of the vendors on Sunday.

What's the little BT-5ish size red and white upper section behind the Mansquito?

Bill,
The Asteroid Hunter is pretty nice -- did you find out when it will be released?

I think that's the pop-pod for the little glider. I'll have to find the pics of it flying.

Not yet, but I'll ask tomorrow. I was one in a crowd of many admirers.

Great to finally meet Bill in person (and Mr. Poehlien as well). As Bill has reported, some fine product displayed under the Big E tent. The Asteroid Hunter has a very impressive built up construction that I think will be a lot of fun to build; clearly a builder's kit. That Odyssey nose cone (and for that matter, the "Orion" cone on the Asteroid Hunter) is from new tooling, and it's very noticeable in the sharpness of the detail and the very subtle seam lines. They've done a very good job with these new nose cones. Definitely a company that's listening, and trying to respond to the hobbyist. Well done Estes! The other item I'll report is that there were very strong clues in the presentation made during this evening's Vendor's Forum that we can expect a re-release of the Pershing (at least that's what I interpreted from the clues). Again, well done Estes.
