12 Days of Estes

[tsmith1315]

Looks like Estes is doing a daily special for the next few days.

Today’s special is apparel and swag @50% off. Not bad, but I don’t see any cologne. They really should sell an eau de toilette, “moteur brûlé”.

They really should sell an eau de toilette, “moteur brûlé”.

"Athena"

Edit add:
"Mean Machine "
"Rascal" & "Hijinks"
"Big Daddy"

Maxi Brut

Maybe even “Maxi Brut 33”…

Other potential fragrance names:
"Alpha Male"
"Maxi Brut"
"Athena"

Rejected fragrance names:

"Solo"
"Gnome"
"Green Eggs"
"Big Bertha"

 

[KenECoyote]

Guys...DON'T get your partner a fragrance called "Big Bertha" lol

Dude

Other potential fragrance names:
"Alpha Male"
"Maxi Brut"
"Athena"

Maybe not Athena. Maxi Brut sounds more like pit spray.

Earthy, spicy, intriguing - "Dude" fragrance captures the grit and spirit of the early days of high power rocketry.

"Fat Boy"... giggle...

Sulfeuresque ou Le Perclôratif ?

4 ropes to toss
3 sticks to poke
2 rocks to throw
At a rocket stuck in a Pear Tree

You, sir, are a steely-eyed missile man.

Pretty good deal today. Star Orbiter with a pack of D12-3s and a 24-29mm adapter for $16.19 plus some bonus freebie rocket.

Yes, that's entirely too generous of Estes, something must be wrong. My guess is that if you order just this package deal, they stick on $18 of shipping.

I get $10.99. Should still be free shipping above $50, doesn't take much to get there

 

[n3tjm]

Yes. I jumped at that one. I even tossed in a replacement fin unit for my Saturn V. I wonder what the surprise rocket is going be?

 

[techrat]

Well, I already spent $75 this month at Estes, and $80 at JonRocket and almost $100 at eRockets and $70 at Hobbylink, so I am out of funds for this month (sad face).

I’m struggling with the temptation!

["Magnum'' fragrance is discontinued. Figures.]

With the SO + engine and mystery rocket promotion plus a 25% coupon, it was an easy decision. A few packs of engines for the rocket my son designed in OR plus a Gryphon and Luna Bug to clear the $50 free shipping point and we're one step closer to Christmas.

 

[bad_idea]

Is the Star Orbiter normal BT-60, or is it thicker? Wondering if BMS coupler stock will work in it.

The code a5vc2022 is giving me free shipping

Thanks! Quite a good offer considering a pack of D12s at Hobby Lobby is $9. I was able to order more than one SO package deal; however you only get one free gift oer order.

what's the coupon code?

Aha. I was getting the error that I used this code already, but I tried using a different email address (I have multiples), and that worked, so for $17.26, I successfully ordered! Thanks!

Star Orbiter....One of my favorite rockets!!! Have at least three around here ready to fly but couldn't resist getting another one with this deal
