It looks like Estes will be releasing another PSII E2X model called the Mammoth:

It looks like a stretched Prowler with a different finishing scheme.

I will have to get one when they become available.

And, there's an E2X with a 24mm motor mount in that same list: http://www.estesrockets.com/coming-soon/002466-show-stoppertm

2" in diameter. The nose cone looks like it's not quite long enough for a Black Brant II or III kitbash. I hope it is, though. I know I've retired my FSI Black Brant II to hangar queen duty and I'm sure others have also.

Longer = heavier.

I would not recommend the "-8" delay times for flying that single stage.

And I would strongly advise not launching in ANY breeze whatsoever with the booster.

I really wish Estes will follow the E16 and F15 with slightly core burning versions, especially of the booster motors.

Or AeroTech comes out with a version of an APCP motor which can light a BP upper stage.
