Introduction:
One of the few remaining Estes rockets I own that's in flyable condition. Thanks to Rich Pitzeruse for figuring out what the rocket was via chatting at ROL's conference. Simple, balanced lines and nice flight characteristics makes this rocket perfect when you want something a little bigger that still moves quickly off the pad with a D12. Offered between 1987-1989.

Nose Cone:
Estes PNC-80K, 2.6"x10"

Recovery System:
18" parachute with a larger-than-norm Estes rubberband shock cord mounted to the front motor mount centering ring. Replaced with nylon braided elastic mounted on the body tube in traditional Estes fashion.

Body Tube:
Estes 3090 BT-80, 2.6"x14"

Motor Mount Tube:
24mm, I'm guessing about 6" inches long. Mounted to body tube via two white cardboard centering rings.
 

Fins:
1/8 balsa, fairly soft 3.5" root chord 2" tip chord 5 1/8" leading edge 3 1/8" trailing edge

Launch Lugs:
Original 3/16" launch lugs, one in fin fillet, other one is mounted 4" above.

Painting:
Original paint job, I don't think I was trying for the layered effect.

First Flight:
Certainly not the first flight of this rocket, probably more like the 10th... First one caught on video though. Moves out quickly, but not too fast to track on a D12-5 on the way to 500'. Would be a great demo rocket on a C5-3 or C6-3 on those calm days.
