Anyone notice the "Hawk"? Looks like it's available now? Did I miss the announcement for that one?

I see several on that list that I like the sound of! Saturn V. C'mon, who doesn't want to see THAT!?!? Vector V, Swift BG, Orion, etc... good stuff Carl. Good stuff.

Looks like a Falcon to me. I guess Estes wouldn't let them use the name.

It definitely looks like a Falcon and there is also a placeholder for the Falcon, but the pricing is very different from the Hawk.

I can't keep up with Sheryl. I did mean to announce it, but I was not quick enough.

The Hawk was an AMROCS kit based on the Falcon. We were going to do the Falcon, but the Hawk used 3/32" balsa all around instead of 1/16" and 3/32". It is a lot more durable and still glides well. My Scouts built four of them at a campout this weekend to shake out problems in the instructions. They were doing 40 seconds on an A8-3 for a first-time build of a model rocket or glider.

Falcon is not one of the names that Estes is trying to recover. We still attribute Larry Renger with the design even though it was changed by AMROCS.

Thanks for the clarification, Carl.

So, any other kits hiding out there that were just released?

The price was a mistake!

We decided to do the Hawk instead of the Falcon, but we will still have individual parts for the Falcon. The boom on the original Falcon was very fragile.

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. Click happy(and Paypal happy) minds want to know.
