Default "New" Estes 2 Stager

Is it just me, or does the "new" 2 stage kit Taser Twin look an awful lot like the old Apogee II?

I also noticed they brought back one of my favorite old Centuri 2 stagers, the Long Tom.



Now that my youngest is a senior, and soccer season ended last night with a loss in the regional tournament, I need to get started back into the hobby again - for the 4th time!!

To me, it looks more like a cross between a Skyhook and an Apogee.

That is indeed what was said many times when this kit first appeared a year or so ago.
