I thought fiction threads were supposed to go in the Watering Hole?
Sure would love to see some nice Russian rockets, like 1/100 Scale N1
Fat boy is a cool rocket. I launch mine on an Estes D12It must have high sales? My guess is bring back the original Fat Boy.
I flew my 20-year old Fat Boy on an E20-7W a few weeks ago. Back in the day, guys used to cram much larger motors into this rocket. It would be a popular rocket if it was reissued.Fat boy is a cool rocket. I launch mine on an Estes D12
24mm mount.
I'm intrigued. What would a PRO or MAX Fat Boy look like?FATBOY and I would like a FATBOY Pro or Max.
Something completely different...
I would like to see Estes reprint their design contest winners.
I have a couple of Snitches, they are great.Estes Snitch - Why? Because it is a great kit for doing school demonstrations. The children can easily see the whole flight: all the smoke, fire, the turn over at apogee, everything. Lands fine on grass, asphalt, cement, dirt, about anything. Wish they were available again. TOO EXPENSIVE on Ebay. $40 plus shipping? You've got to be kidding.
Why not something that LOOKS exactly like the Camroc, but with a single shot digital camera...One more vote for the 36 Squared-D a dorky looking but great two engine cluster.
And the Longshot--an easy to build two stager and the only two stager I ever had any success with.
Runner up, purely for nostalgia: The original Camroc circa 1966 or so. But, then I'd have to somehow re-create my darkroom and its oup chemicals, film, paper...
I don't suppose someone from Estes is reading all this???
Still think they would have a winner with a nose cone or payload section with a camera lens pointed aft. Basically the keychain camera, just customized to fit aerodynamically into a BT 50 cone or payload bay"Why not something that LOOKS exactly like the Camroc, but with a single shot digital camera..."
Yeah, that works for me.
I totally agree with this, and frankly I'm surprised they haven't pursued this. I would think this would be appealing to beginners browsing at Hobby Lobby etc., as well as more advanced modelers who want something they could swap onto an LPR.Still think they would have a winner with a nose cone or payload section with a camera lens pointed aft.
