Anybody know the difference in the Photon Disruptor and the Photon Disruptor II? I don't recall the latter kit.
Edit: Ok, I found that the first kit was BT-50 based and the second was BT-55 based. However, in the 1991 catalog, when the BT-55 based kit came out, was labled as only the "Photon Disruptor" , not the "Photon Disruptor II". It's obvious that the actual packaging did label it that way, though. Same goes for the 1992 catalog, and it was dropped for 1993. Since I never ordered the kit and saw its packaging, I couldn't have known the BT-55 version was ever called the "Photon Disruptor II". Interesting! |

I'm told that the Photon Drisruptor II was bigger. (before we're done it'll get even bigger) :D Loretta |
That is correct....the Photon Disruptor II was larger, BT-55 instead of the original which was BT-50 based.
Seems like Estes made their own SLS version several years before the concept was popularized by Semroc. Actually I find the Disruptor II to be the better size....Estes got this one RIGHT, unlike the idiotic Trident II, which I find to be about as entertaining as stepping into a large steamy pile of dawggie-doo ! |
Things are BIGGER in Texas!

Of course, everything's got to be bigger in Texas, too, so that might explain things, too. :rolleyes: P.S. Loretta, that John Dyer from Red River Rocketry is a *real* Southern Gentleman. :D (Me, I just get around some. And I just *know* people from the South. ;) :eek: Like John. :p ) Cheers, |
