2016 Estes Catalog...
 
http://www.estesrockets.com/media//...016_Catalog.pdf

Some cool new stuff, including a BT-60 based Nike Smoke. There's also a funky shuttle-like thingie that will make certain heads explode.

The 2157 Saturn V, now with the "Apollo 11" name tagged on, has a release date of June 2016. It now has the E12-4 as the smallest recommended motor and the E30-4 composite as the only other recommended motor, but still shows max altitude of 150 ft. :eek: :confused:

I love page 89, I guess building rockets is now a fun date night activity! :eek:

Not sure where you are coming from. Estes has always used photos of teens in its catalogs, even girls.

I'm surprised at how many models that have been repeatedly in the blowout sales on the Estes site are in the catalog.

Interesting to see the SuperNova as a bring-back. I'd been pondering cloning it. And I'm sad that one of my favorites, the Nova Payloader, is still gone (this will make the third year).

The pictures are fuzzy. Perhaps they are trying to minimize download size for mobile.

Cool stuff inside, the cover could have been really cool...

Stars have somehow gotten in front of the moon and you don't think that's cool? :chuckle:
