If you do a search for plastruct plastic coated wire, see if that's what you had used...

The model has over 50 flights on it with no damage at all to the tower.

I never could find that stuff again.

I would like to get a few sets for maybe six of the kits.
So John do you think you can help me out? I'm the guy that suggested the Krash Kits.
Show this picture to your bean counters at ESTES.


Wow, that is an impressive stash! Do you have big temperature swings in that shed? I'd be a bit worried about damage to things like decal sheets.

A set of replacement parts arrived about 4-5 days after I contacted them.

Estes once again comes through with fantastic customer service.

I received a 2016 Estes catalog in the mail today ... by accident. It was addressed to a Dennin Dellis, but with my address.

Mr. Dells:

If you hang out here, I have notified Estes of the error.

The price list is a couple sheets, stapled into the center of the catalog. What everyone probably wants to know is the price of the Saturn V. If so, let me know.









Just kidding! But no news, since it is listed as TBD ... sorry.
