Nope, Challenger I is not a BT-56. It is BT-50 and in a long line of clones like Star Trek, Athena, and several others that I think other than colors/livery are identical in terms of fin can, nose cone and body tube. There is a recent thread on this series too.Now I've seen the Estes Challenger-1 (1416) in catalogs (found with the starter kits) from the early 1980s that have a red nosecone and fin can. What I can't tell is if the Challenger-1 is a BT-56 based rocket, or not. A search for instructions on JimZ, Estes, and plans.rocketshoppe.com turned up nothing. However if it is a BT-56 kit, then we have another color option.
