As the title says, any news from NARAM-63?

I held this model! RTF
Eh, it’s probably the way it had to go in order to secure the licensing from SpaceX - something they and Estes could partner over that’s both flyable and a good static model for SpaceX fans who aren’t model rocketry folks. The SpaceX hardware doesn’t hold much interest for me - nor does the Blue Origin kit or RTF - but I get that it’s definitely something Estes needed to do, there’s an entire wave of space enthusiasts created by what the private launch companies have done and models like this could generate more hobby rocketry people.FYI, the sad react was to it being RTF.
Wow! So… the SLS model John Langford is holding is a future Estes kit?I've posted some photos from the first weekend of NARAM-63 on Flickr here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/191175690@N03/albums/72177720300655953
This includes the flight of the Estes Falcon 9 prototype and the Ric Gaff memorial launch.
Also there are a few LDRS-40 photos including the giant Trident here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/191175690@N03/albums/72177720300664922

Bummer, really impressive. Guess have to wait to see if Matt Steele can get his version to market.No.
The SLS model is a 'one-off' model built for display and demo flying.
It has a 4" diameter main body tube.
Exactly, love the box!Heck,I'd buy the box by itself.
