While not as groundbreaking as the Pro Series II stuff, here are pics and info of the rest of the new items shown by Estes at the recent Las Vegas hobby show:

Nice stuff. The tube cutting guides are pretty slick and who doesn't love some upscale Hi Flier?

Estes has been busy, I'd say...and listening, too.

I like the idea of the tube cutting guides, but the Sky Twister is just another Cosmic Cobra.

I miss being SAM 0058

Build floor: Centuri Design Contest F-150 Hurricane Estes - Low Boom SST Semroc - Marauder, Shrike, SST Shuttle

In paint: Canaroc Starfighter Scorpion Estes F-22 Air Superiority Fighter, Multi-Roc, Solar Sailer II Semroc Cyber III

Ready to fly: Estes - Solar Sailer II Semroc - Earmark, Groonie Der V 1/2

I'm presuming from the look of them that the tube cutting guides must twist-tighten. What a great idea. Really looking forward to trying them.

Actually you push them together to tighten them.

So the Launch Set version of the MA3 is only set up for D motors?

Saw prototypes of the tube cutting guides and the adapters at NARCON. It's nice to see production hardware...that means they're getting close. Cool!
