My 2 cents worth.
Larger selection of engines more powerful E
Bring back of old kits especially the futuristic ones
Longer/better shock cords
Plastic nose cones are ok in my book
Bring back Model Rocket News even if just by E mail
Customer service is great!

Default Future products

I finally got my Launch magazine today (with the Ares builds) and it drove home something I mentioned in another thread -- that somebody's GOT to do . . . .

We need a 1/70 scale R-7 booster.

Yes, I know about the Cosmodrome and the Dr. Zooch. But surely Estes can talk their Chinese partners into a real, live, no-origami-required kit with injection molded lattice and mandrel turned paper strap-ons about the size of the one in Pete Alway's Scale book for 24mm power.


Please, Please?


And a 1/70 Long March . . . .


to park them all next to my 1/70 Saturn 1b.

Mine is 1/64th scale. I should have a few ready to sell at NARAM.

But there is some Origami involved.

I'm currently trying to get 5 kits completed for sale at NARAM.

I have 10 kits started so if these kits all sell out (which I doubt!) I can put one together for you after I get back from NARAM.

These kits take a lot of time to put together. I think at last count there are over 185 parts in the kit!

It's real easy to forget something if I rush it!
