Astron Elliptic II

[mrhemi1971]

Just built it, have yet to paint it though. I can see myself buying a few just to have for parts, love the elliptical fins, just like the sprite.
Have the A10-0T's come out yet? I gotta fly this baby with both stages!!

Yes, they are out and available to stores. I haven't ordered any yet. I still have a boat-load of the previously released ones (they never sold very well), so I am not in a big hurry to buy fresh stock.

I'll have to get a bunch, I built quite a few 2 stage models for mini motors and I couldn't find them around here much...

Estes has them for sale on their web site....

Anyone know if the lower stage uses Astron Sprint fins?

Yes and no to this question. The size of the fin is most likely differnt then the Sprint but I believe I copied the shape from the Sprint since it 's simply a cool looking fin shape.

It's a nice kit...just have to put fillets on the fins and prime/paint. It has been a long time since I built a multi-stage rocket. Used the new fin allignment guide as well, built up nice and straight

Thank Mike Dorffler for that.
