Or at least no distribution to AC Supply and such. If it really is the Ventris (and with that image, what else would it be?), I will pass as I have one that I built and have flown some. It works well enough, but I don't love it enough to get a backup kit at full retail....Limited number often = premium price.
1.95 IDWhat diameter is the Ventris booster section?
1.95 ID
2 inch OD.
Are there other 2-inch tubes out there? Most of what I see regularly is 2.1 or 2.6-inch.
I clicked on the "Specs" tab and got all what would be expected. What Secs are you looking for that aren't there??$89.99. No thank you. Not to mention there are no specs listed. What the heck is going on over at Estes theses days. Seriously folks, get it together !

Actually I think that price is on par with current prices. That's about what I paid for my current clone kit. Back when Hobby Lobby had the kit, it was cheaper, but I never got it there because the kits at my local hobby lobby had defective transitions, and they never restocked them . So I missed out then. So I got my clone from Launch Lab it was worth it. I love the rocket.$89.99. No thank you. Not to mention there are no specs listed. What the heck is going on over at Estes theses days. Seriously folks, get it together !

Estes didn't have the 29mm BP motors when they came out with the Pro Series, but they did have a rebranding agreement with Aerotech. Things have changed...Interesting that the F15-4 is now a recommended motor.
Original instructions only recommended their composite Pro Series motors.
I'd like to know where you can buy the parts to clone the Ventris for $20? More likely you already had parts, plywood, laundry, etc on hand (new or used, bought, salvage, given to you), and you just bought the parts you didn't already have for $20. But when it boils down to it, and you calculate how much that clone actually cost you if you bought the parts new, already cut... yeah... $90.I can't justify $90 for a kit when I can go to eRockets and buy most of what I'd need to build a clone for about $20. I grew frustrated at the price of the Quest "Big Dog" rocket, and then built my own version from BT-70 tube, and mine is better -- I made a swappable motor mount, I made a payload bay and my rocket came out bigger than Big Dog.
