Next round of Estes releases
The instructions download page on the Estes site has some new additions
Centuri Black Star Voyager Rogue Voyager Astron Sprint XL Mega Der Red Max(PS II) The Centuri seems to have the PNC-50BB with nozzle so Black Brant III clones should be easier. It's also weird seeing 'Centuri' and 'Estes' on the same rocket. The Black star voyager will have to go in the 'Build soon' pile once it comes out.

FYI, the Astron Sprint XL is based on a BT-60 body tube.
New shape molded plastic nose cone and tail cone. Nice.

I was wondering about that - thanks. Looks like the big DRM and the Sprint will wind up in my build pile.

The Astron Sprint XL is dedicated to Mike Dorffler.
Very nice touch.

They have to keep the Centuri name in use for trademark purposes. Although trademarks for companies and product names are different categories.
Hmmm. A Sprint without the "modeling skill" of a paper shroud. I noted the instructions do not have a spec panel like the face card, and the parts sizes require a SKU number converter, so unless you have one of those other data points it is not possible to determine the rocket diameter from the instructions. On the other hand this is a much lower risk of bad build Sprint with blow molded parts. Made in China. Tubes too? Jerry Last edited by Jerry Irvine : 08-19-2012 at 09:24 AM. |

That BSV and the RV are very cool. When do they release these? Next year?

WOW! Can't wait
I hope Estes understands all the damage they are doing to my wallet, but I like the new stuff. Keep it up! |

Black Star Voyager is really something! Reminds me a bit of the Black Hole Space Probe. Nice work, Estes.
