Space Eagle look
I was looking at the Space Eagle and something didn't look right to me. I went back to this post http://forums.rocketshoppe.com/show...ighlight=iHobby to take a look at what the Space Eagle look like in this flyer and sure enough the design has changed. A transition and more fins on the one in the flyer. I like the one in the flyer better. My question is why did Estes change it ? I think I will build one like the one in the flyer.

I like the extra-fins, but I'm not so enthusiastic about the transition...

Have you seen the NC in a lot of the Estes releases? They are... balsa. Shhh.
Along the same vein why call this Hustler in Dart's clothing a Reflector? Does it mirror past classics? Could we have had it in the original form?

I like the fins in the version shown in the flier, but I don't like the transition. I like the overall look of the newer one better because it doesn't have the transition, but I'd almost be tempted to add extra fins to the newer version.
