Back to the Renegade....
I picked one up at my local Hobby shop on Friday, and haven't opened it yet. Living in Colorado does have some advantages .
However I can tell you that this looks like a kitbasher's delight.
The body tube is Big Bertha size, It is two stage (read Two motor mounts), there are 4 of the BT-5 Nose cones for those neat silver pods that you see, and the Big nose cone has a cockpit molded into it. there are 4 different sizes of body tubes, don't know all of the lengths yet.
The kit itself has a picture on the cover of the model staging. the sustainer is your basic 3FNC, and the booster has those neat pods mounted to it. Since the model pictures are all black, it is difficult to see where the seperation point is, and what part the fins are connected to.

I had a great time with my Optima..but was very disappointed with the 100 foot flights on the single D12-3 motors After badly crashing her on a mistaken D12-5 motor installation, I added 3 permanent D12 strap-ons boosting the power to a 4 - D12 cluster, really made one heck of a difference in performance I sent this pic to estes and to MR mag. but they never published it. I still fly her every so often just for the KICK

Doug is right, I designed the original Mini-Mars Lander
OK - Impatience got the better of me, and I ordered the Renegade directly from the States, from Hobbylinc. I was taking a bit of a gamble, 'cos they don't let you know the shipping cost (for overseas orders), until they charge your card. I needn't of worried ... $22.44 for the kit and shipping to the UK (insurance included). Thats about £13-14 in real money - BARGIN!Originally posted by cydermaster
I'll certainly be getting one of those, when Deepsky get them in.
