Each of the above rockets have come from a different level skill of the ESTES range. As of this moment, I have completed the first test flight of the Gemini DC (far right), and if flew like a dream. My Current Model is the space shuttle (3rd left), at the moment, I currently have at least another 20 hours to go before it is even ready for its test flight, so far from the prelimary tests that I have done, I can confirm that the ejection system works, but whether the model glide back down to earth like the real McCoy deserves to be see. 3rd Jan 2001 As of this date, I have just completed the first test flight for the model shuttle, and I can confirms, that it does fly, but the noise is unreal, I am going to have to modify the rocket, so that it doesn't make large bangs when it reaches the peak altitiutude of 450ft, at this height, the rocket engine is ejected after a three second delay charge, I believe the sound was heard over 900ft away, so I must apologize to anyone who may have heard this. I am also going to have to repair the tail fin, as id did not survive the eject blast and took the tail clean off, may be the next flight will produce better flights.
