New Estes Kit

[Ronz Rocketz]

Estes Vesta Intruder | Model Rocket | AC Supply

The Vesta Intruder stands over 2 feet tall and can reach altitude of up to 350ft on a C11-3 engine! Although it roars off the pad with a Standard Estes Engine, it disappears into the sky like the light-speed spacecraft it was designed to be.

I would buy it but AC screws me over for shipping (usually $18) and no free shipping to Hawaii. I go jonrocket because they do.

JD already posted his DARC so here's my video. The cone makes the ejection sound like a shotgun and the inside looks like also.

Only 5-6 unbuilt kits?

Well, circumstances and stuff. You know, space, time, events. That kind of thing.

Got the Vesta Intruder today, am really liking the design. Though I do have to wonder why it was designed with a 12" BT-60 body tube and then the nosecone uses 2 pats of clay as noseweight, versus using a longer body tube and either reducing or eliminating the clay? I was under the impression that Estes usually preferred to use stock body tube lengths instead of "custom" ones?

Still, I look forward to building this one after I get my Mean Machine done.

Probably weight would be my guess. I agree, that could me mitigated using a normal length body tube as it would be minimal at best.

I'm glad they didn't call it the Vestal Intruder.
