I can't wait to get my hands on these Estes Pro series kits. I've been unable to find them anywhere yet. (seems every on-line dealer SOLD OUT!!) Been waiting a long time for 'good ol Estes' to step up, now that most of us that grew up with Estes kits have moved up to MPR/HPR.
The Higher price to pay for Estes name is worth it to get them "up and running"
That being said "You got any coin in these or are they perks/freebies?First so nobody gets twisted on my views..
Im a professional model builder and work for the company that owns Estes. Grimracer
Nice looking rockets, the Leviathon kit looks pretty nice. Can these standard Aerotech 29mm engines or do you have to use the Estes Pro Series II engines? I agree, the price is a bit steep at $54 for an "F", and more for a "G" impulse engine. Using a $50+ single use engine in a $64 dollar rocket doesn't make much sense.
For $9.89 I can pop an RMS 29/40-120 with a G64-4W kit loaded in it and and save a wad of cash..... if it will fit??

Try this for a sample of the instructions.

Heya Mike,
Thanks for posting your builds and teasing us with these new Pro Series kits!
My Argent arrived yesterday; time permitting it will be assembled and RTF at Thunderstruck. If so, we could drag race....on H motors. You have to use that new-ish cert status for something you know!
Let's see...I have a pair of Aerotech H268 Redlines sitting idle at the moment; if you want to drag race, I'll provide the motors
By the way, are you painting these with the stock stuffer card schemes, or applying Grimracer Custom paint?
