Default Estes New Pro Series Nike Smoke

It looks like our head of marketing gets to let things out of the bag before I do, so check out this link. then come back here to talk about it if you wish. It will be showed at the iHobby Show coming up in just over a week. And yes it does come with UNITED STATES decals. I just put them on the model ten minutes ago.

Excellent!

What will be the suggested motors for the model and do you have any idea of what it's weight will be (California only allows 500 gram model rockets at this time )?

Thanks for your time.

What's the diameter? Sure would be nice to be able to purchase the fins separately.

The Nike Smoke is being flown on motors from F26 to G80 motors. My protorype is flying right at 500 grams without motor and just primer. The body tube is 3" OD. The fins are made out of two piece hollow plastic halfs. They have through the wall atachement and internal spars and cross bracing. They are very rigid yet light in weight.

How 'bout you grab me a set and I'll whip up a nice SM-3 to be marveled.

Will the other mid-power kits coming up have similar fin designs?

No just your typical plywood fins.

This is good news John! I must admit that, while I was glad to see the pro series coming back, there were initially no scale or exotic designs; This may just be my first Pro Series II. The more detail, the better!
