Default Had no idea it would be this hard to find a Navaho AGM

Since the sudden departure of my Navaho upper stage, been looking to get a new one. Seems just everybody on the net is out of stock. About to start working on a BT-55 upscale version of it, but wanted to replace the lost one. Guess if I find some I need to buy a couple. No real point to this post, just venting.

Six,

The only thing you really need to do that AGM is the nose cone, and you can get that from the Payloader One, or the Astra. The tubes are (almost) the same as Estes BT-50. If you pick up a Payloader One kit, you also get one of the two motor mounts...

Booster length is 3". (The CDD-75 booster started out as 2.75; I forgot the AGM booster was longer...) Sustainer length is 14". Remember, I used the AGM as the starting point for the CDD-75-PL40. I didn't change any lengths, just added a 4" payload tube.

If you already have the fin patterns, start cutting!

Yeah, Craig, was considering just doing it that way. My main reason for getting the kit was to get the decal set. Was going to copy them onto either decal paper or my good sticker paper, and also upscale a copy for my BT-55 version. I still have the booster from the one I lost, so I could get by with a 14" BT and nose cone for just the basic construction.

EHobbiies web site shows them in stock for $9.99, shipping in 2 to 3 days.

Hobbylinc shows it as "out of stock"
