Does the kit come with decals or do we have to make our own like with some other Pro Series II kits?

Great stuff, John.

Really like the Mega Max and love the RTF crayon.

And the Skydart is fantastic.

Love the 4" red Max!

Figures it would come out, am I working on a BT-80 red max upscale. Thanks so much Estes! That is really a cool model.

Hmmm... Other uses for a 4" Der Red Max nose cone:

* A REALLY big Mean Machine!

* A super upscale Quark!

* A kingsize Wizard!

* A giant upscale Groove Tube!

Very, very cool!

By the way, all the images have my annoying watermark on them. This is due to the fact that last year some other sites posted the images without consent and/or giving me credit for them. The pics are for your enjoyment on the YORF website.

Thank you for the pics and info, Turbo!

Heh, you're right! It's usually Semroc that causes the logo to change. It's great to see Estes re-releasing a cool old kit.

Rocketguy, if you would, start a new thread to have members vote on which rocket they'd like to see in our logo in the SkyDart's place. We usually put a kit in there that we'd like to see come out as a clone or re-release.

Agreed. I had the pleasure of meeting and spending some time with John at Narcon 2012 and he is a great guy. He really gets it and we should all look forward for some cool stuff from Estes.
