In my last order from Estes there was a catalog included. Even in the replacement part (kit) order I got a new catalog. These were shipped this year.
+1 to the instruction descriptive text. There have been steps that even though I've been around the block a few times, I've guessed on.
Seems especially true in motor mount "pictures" (sure as heck aint instructions). They will show marking off distances on the motor tube, then later show inserting the mount up to one of the marks. |
