Estes Mad Science Rocket
 
1 Attachment(s)
This decal has four fin decals that would be an exact match for the Generic E2X kit, the same fin can used in the sky writer,

#2026 Athena (1990-1998)
#2042 America (1991-1992)
#2076 Pegasus (1994-1996)
Lancer, Scorpion starter set (2000-2001) and Mongoose.

Extensive online searching of Mad Science reveals nothing, a different rocket from another company shows up in searches. I would like to clone this if I can find anything. Assuming the decals were for a rocket, which seems likely, does anyone have an image or any information about this rocket?

the only reference I could find was to a sheet of stickers on Ebay that was titled 'Estes Mad science educational program'. if this was part of an Estes education pack , then I would guess that the generic e2x would be the rocket intended.

Thanks, that's where I got it.

I am still looking for any info for this one.

You might want to contact the people at this link:

http://www.madscience.org/

They used to do rocket demos using Estes kits, although now I think they do the demos with water and stomp powered rockets.

You will notice their logo is the same as the one on the sticker sheet.

I vaguely remember the rocket they originally used was more like the Estes Omloid E2X, not the Generic E2X.

From what you can see here https://web.archive.org/web/2000081...chool/index.htm
it looks like the Estes Omloid as mentioned earlier.

Thanks for digging, the stickers are small for an Omloid and the Omloid fins were swept. I will bet they are for a version of an E2X and maybe there is one n the wild.

Just a bump from anyone visiting here on the weekend, looking for an image of the estes rocket with the decals from post 1 applied, either an original or on any promotional material, thank if you can help.

I found this image at worthpoint (some kind of auction or auction archive site).

The decals are on a Generic E2X like rocket as I guessed. Unfortunately no bag or instructions for it in the listing.
