Click to expand...

Is your the Estes, the Thrustline, a clone or something I don't know about?

well I suppose after 2 rebuilds that it is more of a clone...but it started out as an Estes K-38.(the payload section is still original ).

Mine isn't an original, but it is all Estes. I bought a Designer's Special back in 2001 and almost everything I needed to build the Avenger was included. (Short of the nose cone.) It's currently being "refreshed" after a rough few years in the early part of last decade.
