The NEW Estes 2013 Catalog is online HERE
Lots of new RTF and ARTF models.
But there are some real "builder's" kits there too.
The Sprint XL is shown on page 22. BT-60 based and flys on 24mm engines.
The new launcher and controller - The Astron II is on page 80.
Two new nose cone assortments, one is a Sci-Fi package on page 83.
The Mini FAT BOY is BT-60 based and flys with A10-3t engines.
Two new RTFs are the BLENDERS. 13mm to 75 feet with helicopter recovery.
These RTF "BOOSTERS" look very promising.
The Booster 60 fits a BT-60, the Booster 55 fits a BT-55 tube.
Both are designed for D12-0 engines.
On the back cover is the new Estes ALTIMETER.
Small, it looks like it could fit into a BT-20 diameter but no dimensions are listed.
The design reminds me of the Jolly Logic Altimeters.

ReplyDeleteIn other words, the Mini Fat Boy is a new Estes Goonybird. I love it!
Yeah, I guess you could call it a Goony! At least the new "Goonys" aren't flying rabbits, toes or tongues.
