Great looking kits....but those instructions are just awful. I'm building the Skydart II right now...not too tough of a build at all but the instructions are terrible, some pictures with little text. It would be nice if Estes would still show standard parts numbers as well, most of us think in terms like BT-50 and such, not "part X".

Back in the day Estes published a comprehensive part number, part name, part kind list. It was a spectacular reference document. These days it could be created by a spreadsheet and published in pdf dispensing with the whole printing cost issue.

I think the main problem is they no longer encourage parts orders. BUT they could work with a micro-vendor to have a stock of all the oddball parts for them.

Is the Sprint XL 24mm motor?

Based on the proportions of the motor tube to body tube shown (and knowing, now, that it's BT-60, thanks to Bob's post) and noting that the parts list includes one of those D to E engine spacers, I'd have to say yes .

I already have a Mega Der Red Max

Won it at the NARAM auction; was so busy trying to certify on friday that I forgot to
fly it. It came with a G40-4 to boot!

Bob,

Have you flown it yet?

I would have liked to get that model at the NARAM auction but I had no way to get it home and even if I did I couldn't fly it at a model rocket launch (California has a maximum weight/mass for model rockets of 500 grams. )

Take pictures when you fly it!

I'm gonna get a Sprint XL (or three) and fly it with a 24mm D50, E100, and F200 and see if it can handle it. I think it will.

You people in CA need to get those out-of-control law makers under control.
That state needs more laws like bill Gates needs more net worth.
The only new laws that should be legal in CA are ones overturning the old ones that intrude on personal individual freedoms toward some mamby-pamby collective good.

Just wanted to confirm that this is a BT-60 size model with a 24mm motor mount. This model flies really high on E9 and E12 motors and plenty high on D12 motors. It also has a new size chute since an 18" chute was to large and a 12" chute was too small.
