Estes Antar #7310 Build, Part 1, Parts


All the parts:
BT-60 based, 18mm motor mount.
The nose cone is long, the same one from the High Flier XL kit.
Clay nose weight.
18" parachute, two sheets of 1/8" thick laser cut balsa.
That's a pre-production water slide decal sheet.
Centering rings and nine small "vane" pieces.

Parts of interest:
Two clay packets for .50 oz. total nose weight.
Note on the laser cut balsa there are pieces for an assembly jig.
On the decals, final released kits will have a darker red ink.
Below the centering rings are nine small "vane" pieces.





Here's a better look at the laser cut balsa.
The lower piece has the two large wing fins. At the upper right are two of the jig assembly pieces.

  1. Wow, that's a lot of lumber! Just the amount of balsa in the assembly jig is impressive.

    1. Plus it'll come in handy on some other kits as a cradle!
