I think I did add the second statement a moment later via edit. In any case... no worries.

and, then buy other things..
as the article says, people come in for the chicken, but leave with a cart-load of stuff.. "Oh, since I'm here, I might as well get ... "What other things?
Maybe Estes could take a page from Costco: Sell the PSII line like they do their rotisserie chicken.. Sell it at a loss, knowing they will be in to buy a chicken, and, then buy other things..

(And I, personally, thank you for buying a chicken! you keep me employed! )

Costco "Impulse buys" can add up!!
Before they start selling a two engine cluster model they had better upgrade their igniters, oops, starters.
Thanks. I was wondering about the Side Kick. A previous photo on another thread was cut off and showed only the two noses. Looks like a twin engine clustered model with streamer recovery. Maybe mini engine powered? We shall see.The poster displayed at the Hobby Expo in Denver where I took pics of these rockets.
The Sidekick recommended engines are either two B4-4 or two B6-4, and recovery is by two mylar streamers.Thanks. I was wondering about the Side Kick.

the Gyroc was originally an Estes kit from 1983. I guess that's what I get for not having been alive at the time, and having limited familiarity with 80s era designs. Carry on.
2 C6 7 with stock Starters! All plastic. Tons of clustering fun! It might, however, get a nickname like "RSO Frightening Machine!"The Sidekick recommended engines are either two B4-4 or two B6-4, and recovery is by two mylar streamers.

I'm waiting to see what these really look like, especially the SST. These low-res pictures are killing me.The sidekick and SST are really blinking at me
It could be built in the next release version (still in alpha). "Behave accurately"? Who knows at this point...Can the Sidekick be built in Openrocket and behave accurately?

The original Orange Bullet was a motor spitter. If the new one follows suit it might get the RSO stinkeye as well.
The motors are not that far off center, it’s not like these are outboard motors at the edge of fins.Yeah, I'd like to see some stability test flights done with just one motor intentionally lit to see how squirrely it gets when one igniter fails. Given how wide those fins are and the total length, I feel like it would behave like most other two motor clusters when one fails, but the added dynamic of having the body tubes separated like that makes visualizing the physics confusing.
