Estes - Courier (#1911) Gallery

In the late 80's the old Estes BT-20 Courier was on of my favorite Non-competition very high flying Streamer recovery models.

When I got into micor's this model just had to be added to my Micro fleet. I have to say it like it's larger counterpart do not disappoint in the flying either. at ignition this little puppy is gone! To date with more then 20 flights i've yet to get anything more then a smoke trail from this minimum diameter .281" OD x 4.375" long screamer. finished with a 1/2" x 10" yellow teflon tape streamer/wadding the bird weighs in a 3.1grams add a MMX-II motor we have a liftoff weight of 4.2grams... WooHoo it's a speedy little bugger LOL!!!

I recently reworked my orginal 1989 courier so I thought I'd include it's photo just for fun.


.

Used the Courier during the OOP motors program with a very Old B14-5 motor....Wow! what a great flight from a 38 year old motor LOL! to be honest on any B6 or C6 the Courier is an Out-a-Sight performer..
I just love flying this model.

Just flew this one for the first time this weekend. An A8-3 flight at B6-4 Field, but it was MORE than enough motor for the limited airspace.
