Originally had a catalog number of MK-1.

Another Alpha  III derivative…

Craig McGraw:
All three kits were introduced in the Fall 1971 catalog. This was the only catalog where the Fleet Pack was offered.
[5]
Craig McGraw:

Except for the motor tube, this is an all-plastic kit.
[6]
Craig McGraw:

BT-58 is an odd-ball size of tube. Smaller than BT-60 and ST-16, but larger than BT-55 and ST-13. I must admit, though, this is a nice craft-style kit for the modern Estes. Nothing shabby about it, and it should really move out on the 13mm motors.

Craig McGraw:
Estes separated these into two PDFs.

This was the infamous "Rocket-Powered Shuttlecock"
[10]
Craig McGraw:
New information suggests there were two versions of this kit.

The early version represented by this line had two BT-5CJ tubes joined with a hollow balsa coupler, and a balsa nose cone.

The late version had a single BT-5P tube and a plastic nose cone.

Craig McGraw:
Same kit as #897 Lumina...
[14]
Craig McGraw:
Same kit as #890 Jammin'...
[15]
Craig McGraw:
This version is a little different when compared to the standard K-25. In fact, one might suggest it was ahead of the curve, and a precursor to the modern Kevlar mounting method: The elastic shock chord is attached to the top of the engine hook instead of a tri-fold paper mount.
[16]
Craig McGraw:
Only found in the 1963 catalog. The design was updated (lengthened) in 1964 to the Apogee II.

Craig McGraw:

Fin can alert - same as found in #1418
[19]
Craig McGraw:
The original "K" series version used the BT-55V (16.35"), and was on the edge of stability. It was intended to be a high-performance design, after all...
[20]
Craig McGraw:
Revised when the "K" series became the "1200" series. A full-length BT-55 (18") gave the design an improved stability margin.
[21]
Craig McGraw:
Estes use of "40th Anniversary Edition" here is not describing the 40th anniversary of the model, but the 40th anniversary of the company...

[26]
Craig McGraw:

1. Sustainer of this kit later became the Comet #1368.

2. Same fins used later in Ranger #1955 and Mean Machine #1295.
[27]
Craig McGraw:
Uses same fin set as #1276 Antares
[28]
Craig McGraw:

Same fins as Vigilante #1278, Comet #1368, and Ranger #1955.
[29]
Craig McGraw:
This is the starting point for building a BARCLONE Cherokee Double-D.
[30]
Craig McGraw:
This is the #1282 Photon Disruptor with the #1285 TEROS nose cone.
[31]
Craig McGraw:
Use one additional 18" length of BT-80 and one coupler to turn the Maxi Alpha III into the Colossus!

This model uses the same fins as:

#1323 Stiletto
#1378 Firecat
#1915 Harpoon

BT-50 9.5"
PNC-50Y
18mm motor mount

Trailing edges of forward fins are 5.5" up from rear edge of tube. Launch lug is about 3.25" from rear edge of tube. Trailing edges of main fins are even with rear edge of tube. Forward fins are 180 degrees out of phase with lower fins.
[37]
Craig McGraw:

1. Began life as the sustainer of the Vigilante #1278.

2. Same fins as the Ranger #1955 and the Mean Machine #1295.
[38]
Craig McGraw:
YORP has the Centuri Tiger Streak plan, but not the Estes version.

Probably the best way to get into model rocketry. Sign up for Hobby Lobby's weekly sales and coupon notices via email, and watch for their "half-price" sales on Estes and Quest items. You can get these for less than $10!!!

Craig McGraw:

"Star Blazer Plus One" Starter Set:

A starter set which slipped under our radar until someone put one up on eBay…

Contains the #1381 Yankee kit, and a restyled #1923 Cougar. The launch controller is a blue-plastic Electron Beam (the kind you could take apart with a screwdriver), and the pad is the Porta-Pad II.

I am dating the set between 1990 and 1991, for the following reasons:

1. The Porta-Pad II was introduced in 1989.
2. The yellow "zebra-stripe" Electron Beam controller became standard in 1993.
3. The Yankee kit has the old-style paint and decal pattern; the new "overspray" pattern was introduced in 1993.
4. The "generic" range box is first seen in the 1990 catalog, and disappears by 1993.
5. 1992 is the last year the majority of model rockets in the catalog are of the traditional craft type; the plastic-finned, bright-colored, more-toy-than-hobby types start showing up in this catalog, but dominate the 1993 and later catalogs.
[46]
Craig McGraw:
Twister = Tornado
Super Shot = Bandit
[47]
Craig McGraw:
Black Diamond is the same kit as the Viking, just with new decals.
[48]
Craig McGraw:
Body tube size for the booster and sustainer is the BT-55. The payload section is the PST-60R, 5" clear plastic tube.
