I doubt Estes got their design from the MPC (Sky from China) rocket, or vice versa. Still, they do look alike.

Interesting that the Estes Black Diamond gets 500 feet on a C6-3. The MPC Red Giant is taller, weighs less and only reaches 230 feet!
I like the looks of the MPC Red Giant better. They are on sale everywhere.
