Rocketry Product: Estes - Green Eggs {Kit} (7301)
Estes Green Eggs, #7301 Build, Part 1, Parts (2020-08-01)
This is 3F/NC rocket a little like the old Estes Scrambler Egg Lofter. The original Scrambler was BT-60 based with a three engine cluster. Now with 24mm D engines, a cluster isn't necessary to give ... [Read More]
Estes Green Eggs, #7301 Build, Part 2, Engine Mount (2020-08-02)This was a pre-production kit so some changes may have been made. I had to make some adjustments for the fin tabs to fit over the black engine hook retaining ring. I find it interesting how glue ... [Read More]
Estes Green Eggs, #7301 Build, Part 3, Engine Mount Reinforcement (2020-08-03)Occasionally I see a forum post where a builder will upgrade the centering rings to plywood. These kit supplied card stock rings are certainly strong enough for 24mm engines. For those i ... [Read More]
Estes Green Eggs, #7301 Build, Part 4, Nose Cone & Coupler (2020-08-04)The instructions say to use a hobby knife to "cut the nose cone into two sections." I found the plastic thick and ended up using my old razor saw. The rough sawn edge ends up rougher than a blade ... [Read More]
Estes Green Eggs, #7301 Build, Part 5, Fin Shaping & L. Lug Placement (2020-08-05)The instructions show rounding the leading edge of the fin. I like to use my sanding block for the initial shaping. The block prevents the corners from being rounded off. After the block is used, ... [Read More]
Estes Green Eggs, #7301 Build, Part 6, Fill & Shock Cord Mount (2020-08-06)The body tube had a few inches of "secondary seam". This was depressed even more with a pencil point to give the CWF something more to grab onto. More CWF and some more sanding. The TTW ... [Read More]
Estes Green Eggs, #7301 Build, Part 7, Fin Gluing & NC Seam Fill (2020-08-07)The fin tab width felt tight in the pre-cut slots. I made the slots a bit wider with a flat diamond file. The instructions show a lot of glue along the root edge. Right below the letter "G" and ... [Read More]
Estes Green Eggs, #7301 Build, Part 8, Decal Draw (2020-08-08)The Green Eggs design does remind me of the old Estes Scrambler, especially the shape of the fins. I'm not a fan of the sticker decals, I'd rather draw up some old style but clean Scrambler decals. ... [Read More]
Estes Green Eggs, #7301 Build, Part 10, Decal Wrap Fit (2020-08-10)Earlier I re-drew the Estes Scrambler (BT-60) decals to fit the larger diameter body tube of the Green Eggs model (BT-65). Corrections were made and the Scrambler decal is available to ... [Read More]
Estes Green Eggs, #7301 Finished (2020-08-11)If you've been in the hobby for a while, you'll recognize the look of the old Scrambler. This is a big model, should get a good ride with 24mm D and composite E engines. EDIT: I ... [Read More]
Another New Estes Kit (2019-11-01)John Boren is a busy guy! On YORF, Bill Cooke posted this page from "The Beginner's Guide To TARC". It's named the OLYMPUS. BT-65? I haven't seen that diameter since the clear payload section on ... [Read More]
Estes Green Eggs, #7301 Build, Part 9, Color Choices & Payload Mask (2020-08-09)Here's the original 3 engine cluster Scrambler from the 1974 Estes catalog. It was designated kit #K-37. Overall white body, one white fin, one orange, one black. The nose cone is also orange. ... [Read More]
