This is great news. This kit may be all decal, but it is also in the Big Bertha size and power range. The top 3 most popular kits ever.

So I guess it will have a blow molded not injection cone, and laser not die crushed fins? My mom bought me one at the Broadway department store on her store card!

Note the item number! 000652 - Citation Patriotâ„¢ Description

Decals is misspelled. Thanks John!

Just Jerry

Pretty sure I am buying >50 of them. For gifts! Spread the love.

My original Citation Patriot is stored away.
Now I will have a new one to fly!

This just continues a long line of kits I've cloned that eventually were produced again by SEMROC and Estes. :rolleyes: :p :D

I'll still buy a couple as backups. :)

Good news. :)

Another good one.
Mine will have the engine mount it should have. 24mm.

For you, shouldn't that be a 29mm motor mount? I can just picture you trying to fly that bird on a G80 or even an F15.

I can't picture it. GH already told us he's out of the hobby and doesn't fly rockets anymore.

Yeah. That makes all kinds of sense...........

The Astron Omega is BT60 based and is only slightly longer and is two-stage 24mm powered.
This is a rocket that always should have been 24mm.
One can always adapt down but not up.
29mm is just too much.
Rockets of this size and weight fly great from a 18mm B through a 24mm RMS F24.

Yeah, I haven't flown anything in the past 3 years, but did every year from 1977 through early 2014. Big deal.
