Default Leo Space Train now on sale from Estes

What?
I'm the first guy to see it in the "NEW" section on the Estes website?

https://estesrockets.com/product/00...eo-space-train/

I've built three of these. A build will be featured on my blog after
I finish up the current Quest FLV.

Does that sport an asymmetrical nose cone?

I haven't seen that nose cone in a kit before -

Ok, thanks. I kinda thought it did, but the images on the Estes web page were not completely conclusive.

Yeah, that would seem to be a new nose cone shape, but then again it looks like Estes is rolling out more and more plastic parts of all kinds with some of the new kits.

Not answering for Chris but no, the Quest kit has a normal style nose cone - the Estes LEO has a unique non-symmetrical “sloped” style nose cone. You can see it clearly in Chris’ current build on his website.
