Mini Bertha now available.

Email from Estes this morning suggests it's going to be released in the next day or so:



But it's available for order on the site now.

UGH! I just realized that Estes is now using a four-digit code at the start of their instruction PDF file names that is NOT the SKU of the kit the instructions are for. I have scraped all the PDFs from early 2023 from the web archive, and the file names all start with the kit number, which is oh-so-logical and convenient. Yet another bit of what appears from the outside to be intentional non-customer-friendliness from the current management. Or is just stupid and extremely poorly thought out.

Hmm…I still have an unused coupon - the double Bertha bundle with a t-shirt isn’t a bad deal…

I might buy that kit just for the nose cone.

There's a similar one in the NC-5 nose cone pack, and it's two-piece injection molded rather than blow molded.

But that's for a BT-5 tube, not BT-20, correct?

Yes that pack is for BT-5 tubes, not BT-20s.

Stupid me, I meant NC-20:

It's even longer, so it's more like the original Ranger/Bertha balsa nose cone.

I have that nose cone pack. I wish they made that pack available in the BT-55 size.
