5 - Estes AMRAAM Downscale
I've always like the Amraam with its forward fins.
This was a downscale from a BT-55 to a heavy wall BT-50.
4 - Estes LTV SCOUT
Another classic I never got around to in the 1970s.
Small fins, blow molded transitions and some really crappy wood tunnels.
Three feet tall!
3 - New Way BLADE RUNNER
A standout design, different from anything else!
A little tricky getting all the balsa filled.
Number 1 -
A clone using 3d parts.
Challenging build, great results on the solar panel fins.
The best build of the year -
Estes BLACK STAR VOYAGER!
This one sat in the bag for a few years. I had concerns about the multi piece fins.
My hesitation was unfounded. A well engineered design with accurate laser cut parts.
Only 37 launches in 2025! I hope to do better next year.

Happy New Year, Hope you have a great year ahead. All this year's builds were great. I built the mini Bomarc. Thanks again for helping us Rocket builders.
