Any word on availability of Estes Great Goblin?

Of course, he could have been talking about some shady character who sells goods of questionable origin from the trunk of his Chrysler…

Proportions seem a bit off on the nose cone to length but a nice size kit

What is LHS?

An endangered species.

Local Hobby Shop. The last one that wasn't a chain closed up a couple of years ago. Too many break-ins and shoplifting. Pity.

Just to be contrary I might just flip mine open sides down so it looks like an “M”…

Reminds me of the QC person who threw out all the “W”s in the M&Ms.

I was so excited when I heard they were releasing the 3" Goblin in March. At the time, I had only one rocket under my belt, the Big Red Max, after kicking off my BAR career. I checked the site every day, for a couple of months until I got frustrated and set out to build one from scratch.

I get that the Estes Great Goblin is designed around their motor platform, keeping it light and nimble. That's cool. Mine laughed at an H250, the biggest motor I could find for the 29/240 case at the time. I got my Level 1 on this rocket, and I have never looked back.

I think the estes Great Goblin would handle an H.

With a properly built fin can, I reckon a 38mm MMT would serve it well.

Yup and you could probably find enough room dual deployment if you were skilled.

 

[SolarYellow]

More than enough room for HED and a tracker in that nose cone.

Not sure how you would do both.

My kits arrived today. Nice kit. I would have preferred a black chute.
