SO, what is the est2119 36 D Squared??



The girl in the Estes Oracle ad???

David Erbas-White

If I were to guess solely on the basis of the name, I'd say it's probably a one-yard-long, staged (D12-0, D12-7) model similar in appearance to a 2-staged (but shorter) Mean Machine (in other words, BT-60 based). Or, it may be a yard-long BT-80 based 2-motor cluster (D12-5 or D12-7) rocket.

I've got $1.00 I'm willing to bet on it being approximately a yard long, and either a BT-60 based D-to-D 2-stage, or a BT-80 based 2-D cluster rocket. Any takers?

I'm hoping for something I can mate with "The DUDE".

She was much bigger then 36 d

;-)

What does S&T say about that?

Yeah but can she build rockets and cook at the same time? ;)

In my wildest dreams I'd like to imagine that Estes had really caught the clustering bug and designed a rocket to fly on 36 D motors :)

I've got a Rubicon kit ready to be bashed, what they were thinking when they designed that one I don't know...its got 7 24mm tubes, why not a cluster!!

If she can cook it's fine by me., if not, I'd take her out to eat ;-)

She's got you under the thumb already.....:-)

Oh dear.....I just rearranged your last few words and came up with an entirely different thing to eat........now that's just rude!!!

Who cares if she can cook? :)

True...and besides, it has been shown that men are *better* cooks than women. Just look at the number of men who are the "top chefs" in so many of the world's finer restaurants. Which brings me to my point:

There has always been "controversy" regarding the idea that men are better suited than women, when it comes to the studies of math and science. Could this be why men are *better* cooks? After all, cooking relies on chemistry, mathematics, and physics....

:o)

This was at the Vegas Hobby Show. The original name was 36 Double D. That one got s*it-canned. ;-) Anyhow, it's a 2-engine cluster 24mm rocket.

Boy, did *I* read that wrong the first time...

Did it look anything like this:
