Default Estes at iHobby Show in Chicago

I just wanted everyone to know that Estes will be showing some new stuff at the iHobby show in Chicago later this month. Some of the models you have seen but there will be an old scale bring back and two new scale models. One of which I think you will think is smoking hot.

I look forward to a report and photos!

A while back you mentioned a new BP motor.

Were those plans scuttled by the new line of midpower kits & composite motors?

There are still plans on releasing New black powder motors. It simply takes a very long time to have any type of motor to pass all the different governmental agency testing and paper work.

All too true! Please remind your Legal Beagles that Canadians will buy new motors too...

I'm curious too - other than a couple pics of the new Nike Smoke, there have been no other pictures of the Estes booth. Anything else announced at iHobby that hadn't been announced at NARAM?
