It looks like the Pro Series E2X Majestic kit is now available on the Estes website. It's only a short time now before it's available else where if it's already not there.

This kit comes with the plastic fin halves already glued together and chromed. The nose cone is also chromed. A new shock chord anchor system is featured in these 2" diameter kits. It should take less then a minute to securely install the 96" long shock cord. While your waiting for the new 29mm Black Powder motors to become available you can fly the model on composite motors.

Great!

I'm looking forward to building/flying all the PS II E2X kits!

Any word on the timing of the E16 and F15 29mm SU BP engines ?
I sure hope these really make it out and are not turned into 'vaporware' teasers used at one NSL.

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, and HAVOC !

We've got thousands of these motors made, so they are in fact real.

That's great news. Looking forward to flying some. I think I will pay full retail so I get the point.

Great. Thousands are made. How 'bout getting some into the hands of consumers at a reasonable price point THIS summer ? Ship 'em OLD SCHOOL in a blue or red cardboard tube without any fancy-schmancy packaging.

I don't know a store in the country that would stock such a product nor could it be done legally since our Government requires all kinds of STUFF to be printed on packaging so consumes don't eat it the product or packaging.

They will be out soon, so just wait a little l oner. Oh, forgot ,remember ghrocketman your not allow to use them, it says so right on the motor.

All those first timers coming out to the club with their ARFs ripping off the pad with G80s and internal altimeters. Kids with their boosters ripping em high into the sky. Hard rock sound tracks blasting in the back ground. Oh I do fear for the old timers and their balsa nose cones covered in dope.

I'm glad I wasn't eating or drinking anything at the computer when I read that! :-) I do agree with his point though, but I know you're not in a position to overthrow the ridiculous regs (somehow we all knew not to mis-use what came in the "warning-less" blue and red motor shipping tubes...). But:

I do, however, know of one store that sells individual model rocket motors without the packaging (so that the local kids can fly what they can afford), and there is another nearby store that sells cigarettes -individually- (which is also a "No, no!") as well as in packs and cartons. Their customers are well aware of what the Surgeon General says about their habit, so the packaging with its warnings is superfluous anyway.

The packaging is also designed for more rapid packaging to reduce net cost. Estes is required to charge sufficient cost to keep it going year after year and sufficient price to keep its dealers and distributors in business to do so at more than one point of distribution. Estes is as ubiquitous as model rocketry gets, and its pricing model supports that. Correctly.

I agree with John, it was worth making the label change to exclude GH.
