I guess then it depends on who's BT-56 you're talking about.

Looking at the 2007 Estes catalog, BT 56 specs to:

O.D. 1.346
I. D. 1.304

That's pretty close to ST-13, which is what we thought was true.

The Quest 50 mm tubing is 1.97 inches in diameter OD. Somewhat close to Centuri ST-20 at 2.04 inches OD used in other Enerjet kits.

Redesigning past kits to use modern size parts is fairly straightforward. The development of kit instructions and packaging can often be the real driver in all of this.

Is there any news about when the New Aerotech Enerjet Nike Ram will be available?

All I've heard lately amounts to a "Big Can O' Nuthin".

Per Gary Rosenfeld's Manufacturer's Forum Aerotech presentation at NARCON 2023, the availability date was supposed to be Spring 2023 (slide attached). Just wondering if they are still working on it...

Glad you brought up this topic again...I had forgotten all about it being re-released. Hopefully it will happen, but I was hoping too it would be the same tube (ST-13) as the original.

Yeahhhhh.
We're wayyyyyyy past that date.

ALWAYS Under Promise and OVER Deliver.
NEVER the opposite.
Opposite just annoys the customer base.

I think Gary has updated that release date to fall over on TRF.
