  • Estes - No. 2 Sky Writer {Kit} (1260) By Bill Eichelberger (April 23, 2014)

    I was thrilled when Estes brought out the Skywriter, not because of an affinity for pencil rockets, but because I could buy them and clone all the Satellite Interceptors, Mavericks and Black Brant IIIs that I wanted.  I would have continued to think of the Skywriter as a donor kit had I not been in the mood to fly something different at a planned launch at B6-4 Field the ...

At just over 26" long, this is a hearty sized model and a good looker. The kit came in a colorful bag ...

The kit came in a plastic bag with a header card. I was impressed with the packing of this kit. The main body tube with the eraser decal and nose cone came in their own individual wrappers. The kit came with the motor mount tube, hook, and ...

  • No. 2 Sky Writer (Modification) By Larry Brand

    I cut up an Estes No. 2 Sky Writer and used the components to build a altitude-seeking model with an altimeter bay. PencilPushr was built specifically for the NARTREK Advanced task of achieving at least one-half of the Class "C" NAR altitude record for E-motors of 1128 meters set by James Bosler on 6/26/04. So the goal was 564 meters or more (1861 feet). This was not that hard to do, but you ...
