I have to tell everyone about the great customer service I have received several times from Christine in the parts department at Estes.
I told her I needed to buy some parts for my Mean Machine that got stuck in a big old maple tree and came down in pieces.
She sent me 4 body tubes (BT-60) 3 tube couplers a new motor mount (all that was really saved was the nose cone and fins) and a new decal...practically the whole kit. When I asked her if she needed my credit card number she says "no thank you it's warranty".
WHAT!!
I have gotten numerous parts from her, individual parts like single nose cones, at wholesale prices, (when she does charge me) replacement decals,
I can go on and on.
There new line of rocket model is starting to look very nice like the old days...almost. They do have to acomadate the "instant gratification" generation.
Later this summer they are re-releasing the Orbital Transport.
The new line of engines can't be topped (AP motors cost too much). Especially the E9.
