Just wanted to throw this out there.

Personally, I want a BT-70 sized one. I've already modeled it in Rocksim, its on my list once I have a suitable set of cones made. Someone recently said that BT-70 was a nice-sized, but overlooked, tube. I agree and think there should be more kits in that size. Along those lines - and those of K'Tesh's comment - I also think a BT-70 upscale of an EAC Firecat would be kick-ass. That has the same status for me as the Crossfire-70. And a BT-70 Ninja (not Blue Ninja, mind you).

FWIW, I saw on eRocket's website today that Semroc has a BT80-upscale of the 60AH cone used by the Max. If you wanted a proper upscale cone and are OK with balsa, its now an option.
Personal opinion - upscale's of most Estes rockets should be BT-80 based.
Why not a PSII scale? My only real issue with Estes' PSII line is parts. Almost every single spare is available except the centering rings. We could upscale the crap out of rockets if they gave us those.

Does any other vendor sell centering rings that work with PSII tubes?

A drill press, fly cutter, and lite ply can fix that.
Yes.
Quest offers centering rings that work in the PSII 2" diameter body tubes.
Part #s CR4924 and CR4929.
I used the CR4929 rings to make a longer stuffer tube for my Estes Mammoth kit.
BMS has rings and such for the 3" tubes.
My understanding is that the 4" tubes are the same as the industry standard, e.g., LOC tubes.
I haven't found any exact specifics on the PSII IDs yet. The ODs seem to be exact as far as I can tell though.
Oh hells yes. I had an original Ninja back in the day. It was bad ass. Sign me up for a PSII version.
