That the composite motors are MOTORS,

and the black powder motors are ENGINES.

Ah, but what are the composite engines and the black powder engines?

Is the Estes Crossbow SST Rocket discontinued or not?
It's in the 2015 Catalog, but you can't find them in stock anywhere.

It's in the new section of the catalog, which means it is a re-release for 2015. Since first quarter 2015 releases have already been announced (see their website coming soon section), it will probably be a second quarter release, around June.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !
Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, TURMOIL, FIASCOS, and HAVOC !

It wasn't at Hobby Lobby last week. If that happens I guarantee I'll buy several.

I miss being SAM 0058

Build floor: Centuri Mini Dactyl Estes - Low Boom SST Semroc - Marauder, Shrike, SST Shuttle

In paint: Canaroc Starfighter Scorpion Estes F-22 Air Superiority Fighter, Multi-Roc, Solar Sailer II, Xarconian Cruiser Semroc Cyber III

I have over 65lbs of the Estes 2015 catalog, I'd estimate about 200 in two boxes.
So for awhile I have the largest collection of 2015 catalogs.

These will be given out at NARCON in about 3.5 weeks.

The Mercury Redstone is due in March, also the Odyssey is due in March. The Mix-n-Match sets are due in February, along with the Flip Flyer, 9 inch parachute, and the 24/29 motor mount. The release dates are not set in stone, so a month later could happen. The other unreleased items in the catalog would probably be second quarter, which means late May or June.

Well.... there was no 1965 catalog. The 1964 does not include Big Bertha, but the 1966 one (the first one with the color cover) does.

Big Bertha first appeared as a plan in MRN V3N2 (April/May 1963)....so depending on whether one looks at the design itself or the kit we're either already past th 50th or coming up to it.

Hey JumpJet - any chance of a Gold 50th Anniversary Edition Big Bertha - even just a special decal set - perhaps in 2016?
