TRF up, New Estes products

The Rocketry Forum seems to be working again.

A thread over there reports on the recent Las Vegas hobby/trade show.

Some tib-bits:

New digital video rocket.

Astrocam 110 (or was it a Snap-Shot - the new version?) available as a rocket without the rest of the starter set. (I guess those extra launch pads and controllers were starting to pile up in some folks' garages....)

Scissor Wing Transport reissue. "new and improved pivot". Cool. Another model to use B4-2, B6-2 and C6-3 motors. SWTs are crowd pleasers.

Uhhhh...... Jerry??!??!??

This particular thread was about Estes coming out with some interesting new rockets...

It wasn't about the NAR/TRA legal fight.

It wasn't about DOT.

It wasn't about Senator Enzi's bill.

It wasn't about Bruce Kelly, Frank Kosdon, or Gary Rosenfeld.

It wasn't about the BATFE, or APCP, or PADs.

It wasn't about "model aircraft parts".

So, exactly how did it become a 'Jerry thread'?

I was thinking the same thing. It would be nice to see some complimentary motors too. ; )
