The Generic E2X is 13.5" long from tip of nosecone to base of fin unit. The motor hook extends another 5/8" beyond that.
Thanks!

Lucky....so jealous....Dear Lawd! Look what I got from Walmart. Let the mods and builds begin.
Thanks.It's the older box style with a production date of 18 Dec 2020:

If you live near Chicago I’ll give you one. That will leave me 11 which is plenty.Lucky....so jealous....
Not near Chicago, in southern California. But I have a dozen Alpha IIIs. I'd be willing to trade a few.If you live near Chicago I’ll give you one. That will leave me 11 which is plenty.

As always, rocketreviews.com is the go-to place for sim files:Are there any sim files for the E2X? I'd like to know what to expect. I plan on giving away B4-4 motors, but wonder what a D20 would do (and what delay is needed).

Ordered on impulse this morning when I saw free same day Prime shipping. Received this evening. They are the Generic E2X.
Now to decide what to do with them all.
I don't need a trade (for I prefer the stouter fins and - when contemplating a giveaway rocket - the "color it yourself" aspect of the E2X), but I'd be happy to give you a few E2X. Problem is getting them to you. I can't see a way to ship anything for less than $10 these days, and that seems kind of absurd to mail a few ≈$3.75 rockets. Do you ever get down to Tripoli North Texas launches?Want to trade for some Alpha 3's? I think for give-aways that I'd like to have a mix. I built one of the Alphas just to see how hard they are. Looking at the instructions for the E2Xs, they are very similar, the biggest difference is that the Alpha uses a screw eye in the nosecone, the E2X uses a moulded loop in the nc.

Perfect, I'll be there so long as the weather looks good. Will bring you a few. Four good?We should be going to the Seymour launch at the end of the month. The "blank canvas" nature of the E2X is what makes them attractive to me, too, for give-aways.

Yes, that was something that struck me also. Have already given one to a friend's daughter, ad I expect she'll appreciate being able to decorate it as she likes.
If all else fails, I'll be at Airfest.I don't know if we're going, now. The college teams want more practice for the Argonia Cup, and it would be the same weekend. Although that would only be one day, John (the guy I get a ride with), doesn't think he's up to the long drive on two days (it's about 200 miles each way to both Sayre and Seymour). I'm not in any hurry. Maybe I can make it down to a DARS or TNT launch later in the year..

Oh, I'll hang onto a few for you. I've given away one already, will likely give a few more away and use a few for experiments, but twelve is a lot of rockets to go through.I plan on going, too. Don't know how many will be left by then.
I'll be leading the build of this bulk pack for my son's Webelos den this Saturday. And then we'll fly them the following week.
This will be my first time leading a group build. We have a little less than an hour, so I've prepped some steps. Wish me luck! These kids can smell fear.
