Estes Advanced Target Drone, Kit #1913, Clone Build Background

The epoxy fillets on the Mega Initiator will take some time, I'll get back to that build soon -


Introduced in the 1983 catalog is the ADVANCED TARGET DRONE.
Kit # 1913, available from 1983 through 1985. Original cost was $6.00.
Information from Jerry Fortin's database: CLICK HERE

This is a four fin, nose cone model but has cardstock intakes that slot over the longer "wing" fins.
15.3" tall, 1.3 oz weight, BT-50 based with 18mm power. 12" parachute recovery.
The interesting part will be making the white decaled areas at home.
The build starts tomorrow!
