Nice looking basic 3FNC with swept fins. Estes decided to re-use the name of an older rocket for some reason. Kind of looks like a sleeker Big Bertha, or mayby a beefed up Scamp? Your guess is as good as mine. Either way, a BT-55 body tube, with an 18mm motor mount translates into nice smooth flights that you can keep in sight.
This rocket was one of three that I constructed in a hotel in Tucson, AZ while on a business trip and was flown at the annual 2 day Desert Heat launch put on by the Southern Arizona Rocketry Association.

The laast of the three "Hotel Build" rockets to get its wings. Great flight, nice smooth boost, decent altitude, good chute deployment near apogee and a nice soft landing on the field not to far away.
