New Estes Kits for 2014

Bob Sanford (Initiator101 on YORF) posted the inside cover from the latest issue of Sport Rocketry.

The Cobra has a classic Estes space ship look using the old Orion style nose cone.
Out of the four rockets shown, the Orange Crush is the only E2X or Easy 2 Xecute.
The Dark Silver uses the Odyssey nose cone. The fins have dowels extending from the leading edges to the body tube. The fin pods have elaborate rear rings on them.
The blue Conquest model reminds me of some Shrox designs only thinner with wings that trail far back.

After all of the releases from 2013, I'm glad to see new builder's kits outnumber the RTF and E2X.
