I have both the Estes EST1969 and the EST2157 kits. I'm trying to decide which of the 2 I should build for a flyer and which should be more for display. What are your opinions and why?
I think the earlier production runs of the 2157 may have vacuform fins. Mine have the molded styrene fins.The 1969 is the better kit, with molded LM shroud and fins, but IIRC, it is a little heavier. The vacuform fins of the 2157 are fragile, but can be replaced:
Wow, that must be a lot! Estes has released about 5 versions now, starting with the K-36? Then there's Quest MMX, FlisKits MMX, Dr. Zooch, Peter Alway, Centuri, Apogee, LOC - what am I missing?Buy 'em all, fly 'em all. The Sirius, Cox and Polecat may be the only ones I don't have.
Oops. Add Quest, Peter Alway and Fliskits to that list. I knew I'd forget some. Now I may do some shopping.Wow, that must be a lot! Estes has released about 5 versions now, starting with the K-36?
