Estes Skytracer Clone #1361 Build, Finished



This was a learning experience. Sometimes you don't know what you are getting into.

I made some mistakes along the way. Still one of the more interesting designs of the early 1980s.



The underside view -
I would have liked to see another decal or two on the open wing surfaces.




That nose cone is almost as long as the body tube - I can hear my Mother:
"Careful - you could poke somebody's eye out with that thing!"

  1. Very nice build, Chris!
    I agree, that is a cool design. There are a lot of those from Estes' flurry of futuristic designs in the 80s and early 90s.
    Great work!
