Estes Spitfire SS1

[Back_at_it]

Got this one from a forgotten collection. Best I can tell, this model was only sold as part of the Mega Maxx starter set along with the Goliath. This was released in 1998 and looks like it was only available until 2002 as it is not in the 2003 catalog.

Mine is a nice original example that is all stock except for a replacement shock cord and a motor block. The shock cord was cracked and the motor clip was loose.

Flew it for the first time this week on a B6-4. Nice stable flight. I'm guessing between 500-600ft. Recovered about 100ft from the pad on a 12" chute.

I never knew that there was another kit that used the same canopy/canard nose cone from the Star Rider and the Nemesis. Very cool! Do you still have the Goliath?

I had to look through the box. The Goliath is in the box of rockets to be restored so I will get to it someday.
