I just received the new Estes Pro Series II Kit, Star Orbiter.
It's the closest to 'minimum-diameter' of any of the PSII kits released so far.
The kit uses BT-60 diameter tubing and nose cone, balsa fins and a 29mm motor mount.
The balsa fins are 'through-the-wall'.
Estimated maximum altitude with an F15-8 motor is 1800 feet.
I think that may be a little low, especially with a listed empty weight/mass of 5.9 oz.
Going on the build pile.
