Wonder if with Estes re-releasing the Goblin if that means the 3rd incarnation of Semroc will have to discontinue it ?

I see Estes is re-releasing the Goblin, at least I see it listed on JonRocket as a "coming soon."



I can't comment on anything until it's on the Estes web site and even then! :

The "Coming Soon" webpage on the Estes website now displays the Estes SLV, Goblin, Honest John and Sky Warrior models.

But we can tickle you till you scream!

You are doing some very cool engineering John. Rerelease the Citation Patriot. It would be okay to bag it this time. 24mm would be welcome.

This works great - I built a standard size Cherokee-D doing this, just needed a few wraps of masking tape around the mm tube. I even recovered it once on an F15-8!

29mm Goblins work great on EJ F67 and EJ G76 motors as well.

John (Estes) how about making one of these? (I gave my Big Brute a Goblin motif.)

Can't wait to get my hands on one of those Estes SLV's.

Will use a spare set of Enerjet Athena decals on it as well as a 29mm mount.
I'm sure this will be as close to a factory re-release of the Athena we will get with the chances of Semroc re-issuing the Enerjet Athena almost zero.

Agree with Jerry Irvine that Estes should re-issue the Citation Patriot.
Should come with a minimum 24mm mount or even 29mm.
An 18mm mount in the Citation Patriot is a joke.
