Estes Citation Patriot, #000652 Build, Finished












This was a fun build, bringing back some fond memories.
The body tube recess seams were disappointing. They did show through on the finished model.
I've read where Estes should fix the logo placement fin decals in the next run of kits.

This rocket should be perfect with the new Quest-Jet C and D engines.

  1. I think launching that thing on a Quest D engine would be a great way to get some kid about a mile away interested in rocketry.

    1. Hi Scott,
      Usually on a BT-60 tall rocket I would convert the 18mm mount to 24mm and D power. With the upcoming Quest C and D 18mm composite engines (and a large field) the combination would be perfect!

    2. Scott,
      I forgot to add - and with a Chute Release on board!
