The sale is directly through Estes. It went out in a mass email earlier today.That's not estes rockets site, who is the sale really through?
Personally I think masking tape is lighter but can’t beat the price.That's interesting, Ron. I didn't get that email (at least not yet). I'd be interested in that one....I guess I'd better check back in the morning.
That’s 9:00pm for you, right Ron?Personally I think masking tape is lighter but can’t beat the price.
Midnight mountain is 11pm for you IDB.
I think I’ll buy 4.
Thanks! I grabbed a camera plus the Supernova and Protostar on sale.The Estes sale has started,

I’ve noticed the Estes website is iffy on any day, but the big sale days it’s ridiculously slow with errors, time outs, etc. I’ve heard the traffic volume is through the roof today.Anyone else having issues getting Estes website to process their order? Multiple time outs and other spinning circles with no end in site.
Got two of them, plus some A10-0Ts. The site was slow but all went through on the first try.
I have one of the current ones and have a couple of dozen flights on it. But having other options will be interesting. I'm really interested to see how well this universal holder works on models as small as an Alpha III, since they figure prominently in the advertising (along with the half-inch longer but otherwise identical rocket from the Rocket Science Starter Set).
I already have examples of all the models on sale that I am interested in, and in the case of the Multi-Roc and Super Nova, backup kits in hand.
The new Estes Astrocam is really easy to use, and has decent video. First camera I've ever flown, and had no problems. I ordered 2.My order went right through. Haven't flown a camera before... I got one a few years back, the one time that I went to fly it I couldn't get it to work. Hopefully the Estes camera will be somewhat less fiddly.
I've been trying to ask Kevin but the only way I have to communicate with him is through YouTube. He was here briefly but don't remember his user name.Thanks for posting that, Ron. It looks like it actually works pretty well. He's certainly pushing it stuffing all that stuff into such small models.
I need to ask him what he's using for the data overlay on the in-flight video. I like what he has better than what I have been able to to with RaceRender. I suspect it's DashWare...which means he's had better luck with it than I did when I tried it.
Too bad about the Multi-Roc....
Ron/BEC, this is Kevin from YT. I use RaceRender as well. I actually got the idea from seeing BEC’s previous videos.
