Check out the Boosted Bertha on page 38, interesting. And the new Double Ringer and SA-2061
Sasha scalelike missle, there was also a Black Brandt and another re-release.
The entire website works for me (PST) and hasn't been down at all. It sounds like you have a cache or cookie issue that needs correcting.
THAT is COOL!Here is a canted 3 x D12-0 --> 1 x C11-7. It's one of my favorite rockets to fly.

I fear that dimension may be a typographical error. A BBII with a 2.6" major diameter would have an overall length of ~50.3".
EDIT: The catalog typo appears to have been corrected, confirming that the BBII model is indeed the trusty old BT-55 kit.

You had me excited for a moment there!!!
Pretty sure it's a typo...should be 1.33" diameter (BT-55). I believe this is a re-release of the BBII; with the full scale at 17.2" in diameter, 1/13 scale puts it right at BT-55.
Nevertheless, the catalog looks great! Exciting times in the Estes world!!!
I think they simply failed to note that the value is in base 6.From a design and communications point of view, I think it’s a nice catalog. But there are some factual boo-boos. I’m pretty sure the 1/200 scale Saturn V is NOT going to 1,300 feet on a C6-3! There may be an extra zero there.
Estes MIRV fits that bill. Wouldn't work if not for the plastic piece that splits the booster blowby gas into three streams.You REALLY want a challenge try a single booster igniting three sustainers
The “interactive” version seems to be an earlier draft which has these errors. The downloadable .pdf has the right info there and other places where the interactive one is wrong.From a design and communications point of view, I think it’s a nice catalog.
