Estes Plasma Probe Finished














Classic lines and a good tribute to all the "Probe" models that preceded it.
I do recommend this one - just be careful with the decals!
Taking cues from the Centuri Laser X HERE and Stellar Photon Probe HERE,
they really got this one right.

  2. Thanks. I do like this design.
    It's another "nod" to the old Centuri designs, this one more like the Stellar Photon Probe.
    Last year I was on the phone to Lee Piester. (Centuri president) Even he recognized the new models based on Centuri designs.

  3. The 8 strakes in the directions say to set them 1" from the base of the upper tube. But the promo picture has them about 1/4 or 1/3

    1. Hi Scott,
      You're right. The pictures online show the bottom of the strakes closer to the top of the black adapter.
