I want to see it gap staged to 3 stages with BP, but not sure that would work. Might need to cluster the first stage to get enough thrust to get it off the rail safely.

Would probably be better as a two-stage with composites.

It appeared in Hobby Merchandiser, an industry magazine. Estes advertises in it every month.

A pre-release version built by a Junior U.S. team member at this month’s World Spacemodeling Championships was absolutely beautiful. One of the most impressive scale kits Estes has released in years.

I spoke with an Estes representative at NARAM-64.

The Black Brant XII model will be available in the October-November time frame.
