Default Estes PS II E2X Booster

I received my Estes PS II Booster from Hobbylinc.

Some Assembly Required.

I don't know if I will be able to fly it at my regular launch site. It may have to wait until NARAM-56.

I neglected to weigh the one I saw at Lucerne. Can you weight the complted stage in grams or small fractions of ounces? Ditto for actual completed rockets that can be used as upper stage. Motor weights are known, so this info will tell us if it's 500 grams or less at liftoff.

Thanks.

Well, glad to see you have your PS II Booster. I was bummed tonight. My local Hobby Lobby gets in new stock in every Wednesday but the PS II Booster shelf was still empty.



I was hoping to build the booster tomorrow and use it on my Ascender when I bring it to the field this Saturday.

On the brighter side while I was at Hobby Lobby I did pick up the Majestic kit and since they restocked the F15-0 my wife picked up that pack of engines so i had a 40% off shopping spree to ease the PS II Booster disappointment.

Are the boosters still $32.95 at your store, Steve? They were at my HL on Tuesday (their restock day). No boosters there either - yet.

Still no boosters at my HL store in Hammond and I checked another HL store in Baton Rouge on the way back from a launch today. I bought F15-0 at two different HL stores in Hammond and in Covington and those were marked $32.95 per pack at both stores.

Fred,

Still waiting for a booster to appear locally but I'd also like to know the weight of a built unit as well.

I weighed both of these on my digital scale:

My Majestic mass with no motors is 8.6 oz
My Ascender mass with no motors is 11.2 oz

Just got back from my weekly Hobby Lobby run....a day late.

No F15-0s on the hook right price or wrong (or any other 29mm motors except E16-8s) BUT I did score the first PSII E2X Booster I've seen in the store.

I phoned 2 Hobby Lobby stores in my area yesterday. One gets their truck on Monday and they said that they had a few of the larger motors and a booster and that the booster was now gone and they only had a couple of packs of F15-0 motors left. The other store gets their truck on Wednesday and they had the booster stage and some F15-0 motors as well as some E motors. I might go by that location after work today to see if anything is left.

iPhone app coupon ready to go.....

PSII 29mm boosters (two of them) were rec'd at my local HL store on Wednesday. I got tired of waiting and had ordered one already from HobbyLinc with three packs of the E16 -0 boosters just to be sure I would have them ready to fly next month.

I'm looking forward to staging the Estes PSII Ascender and Majestic rockets soon.

None of the F15-0 booster engines I purchased at two different HL stores have been restocked yet. I'll be in Baton Rouge tomorrow there are two stores there. I'll check both, of course

I saw some here this week at a HL near Atlanta at that price.
