In an incredible bit of serendipity, I managed to get the parts for a number of Estes Scramblers (Kit #
2072) The hobby store owner had them sitting in his back room. Apparently they were ordered and paid for over 5 years ago and the purchaser never came by to pick them up. Would I be interested? (Is water wet? Does fire burn?) He gave me a box. It has 9 egg cones, 8 body tubes, and about 6 short tubes for the egg cones. I also have the fin stock, several 18mm motor mounts, and a few parachutes. So here is my questions. Are the body tunes BT-56? (I tried a BT-55 and the cone does not fit.) Also, what size is the short tube for the egg cone? Is it a BT-70? I'm planning on introducing my nephew and his cub scout den to rocketry with these rockets. I'm sure in time his parents will forgive me.Bill Sullivan
