Did anyone else get an email from Estes concerning a Blue Origin rework kit?

I don't think the revised version was ever "in stock".

I'm boycotting all things Blue Origin until they get their extremely behind schedule (You'd think they are NASA) fart motors to Decatur so they can start rolling out Vulcans!

Ok, I wouldn't buy a straight up phallic New Shepard anyway. I guess I'll just boycott Amazon.

The clear fin unit is available separately.

https://estesrockets.com/product/03...clear-fin-unit/

What kind of tube does it fit? The web site says 1.8" diameter.

I like to order from Amazon. So I’ll just boycott Whole Foods.
