Estes should have changed theirs to match the Centuri design. FAR better at keeping "blast debris" off the tail of rocket.
The Estes design only served to protect the PAD, not the rocket.
It actually deflects the blast back UP at the ROCKET.

Estes had an angled deflector sold as an accessory in the 70's, but it wasn't as fancy. The Centuri version should have been added as an accessory when the two companies products started crossing over.
