Estes Super Mars Snooper #7309, Build Part 1, Parts


All the parts -
The Mars Snooper has seven nose cones and one adapter. This time around they are all plastic.
The upscale body tubes are a BT-55 below and a BT-50 above the adapter.

The parts of interest:
Two large 3/32" thick laser cut balsa sheets.
Many of the parts on the upper sheet make up an assembly jig for alignment of the pods between the two lower fins.

A dry fit pod - note the very long 20 size cone.
A 24mm screw on engine retainer.
The LONG 3/16" launch lug that passes through three cardstock shrouds.

  1. I'm going to start my soon so I will look at all your entries. A super nostalgia build! I did the original once around 1969 and recall it kind of flew like an aerobatic jet.
