Default Here's Another Great Rocket from Estes

http://www.estesrockets.com/coming-...c-interceptortm

At least I think it's a pretty cool rocket. Like every rocket on Estes site, you can barely see the itty bitty picture. Am I the only one that finds this a source of extreme irritation?

I agree completely. We should leave reviews on the Estes web site asking for more images of the models. A close up or two would be nice as well. For those who use Face Book I would post messages there as well. It may take more then one person stating this before it becomes common on the Estes web site.

If you click the Image, a pop up will give a larger one, not full screen but better.

John, if you built that kit could you post some more detailed pictures of it here?

Also, does it come with decals?

Yeah, I realize that but it is still pretty itty bitty.

Thanks for the link.

I says decals included so that answers my question.

Sorry, but my prototype is only painted in one color and it was made to fly not to look nice..

I didn't even know that Estes posts the instructions online before the model is available to purchase. You can see lots of the build details in the instructions.

Later this year when the BSV comes out," I am just using its initials” hopefully the instruction will be on line as well since I’m pretty sure all the details won’t show up on this when as well. I’m pretty sure most of you are going to like this model a lot.

perhaps it says differently in the 'E- controller' instructions (don't know, I don't have one*...), but the instructions for the rocket would seem to imply that 15' is enough seperation for launching.

*reasonably sure that the E-controller instructions say something to the effect of 30'/stretch the launch leads to full length.
