Estes Laser Lance #3218, Build Background

I found this design interesting.

The fins look like the flip-out type used on a tube launched missile. The middle fin is spring loaded and swing out after reaching the end of the launch tube. 

These fins have been seen in an Estes kit before. Go back to the 1983 catalog and check out the S.C.R.A.M., one of the three small builds in the Estes Tri-Pack, #0866.

I picked it up on sale at Hobby Lobby for $6.47.

The original price was $17.99. Under the SALE sticker was an earlier price of $10.79.

Here's the Specs. It's a good sized model, the main body is a BT-55, the payload section is a BT-60.

The engine mount is 24mm, built for C11 and D12 motors.
