The new Estes Altimeter is only 2.375" long and .7" in diameter.
Hard to believe something this small is still too big for the Reflector with the "Huge Payload Section!"
Even with the balsa shoulders cut back there is only 1 1/2" of height inside the payload section.
I cut a longer piece of BT-55 at 4 1/2".
This would give enough room for a Jolly Logic or Estes Altimeter.
This model would be a perfect carrier for either altimeter.
Here's how the Lil' Hustler version will look with the longer payload section.
The visual balance is still okay.
