    This rocket was built sometime in June 1981.
    It has seen many flights in Europe. I have converted it to streamer as it gets out of sight on a C6-7.

    Ah well.. I only paid $10 for the starter set so there is no lose :-)

    This is the oldest kit I have in my line-up. It was the first version to be produced by Estes and came in a plastic bag without a paper hang tag. Later pre Demon Alpha kits came with a yellow paper hang tag which I also have. However it is missing half the parts.

    This particular kit was missing the parachute. I used a mint chute from my spare Astron Alpha to make this kit complete.

    This is an old Estes Astron Birdie and is a perfectly preserved example of an Estes classic!

    I think the Birdie was certainly one of the most novelty of all rockets in the Estes lineup.

    This kit has the rare original copper colored plastic cone. It is very brittle and has a crack. That is probably why Estes changed the nose cone to a hollowed out balsa version later on.

    Included are 2 Estes B6-2 engines dated 4/30/71.

    This is one of my earliest model rockets that I built in 1981.

    In March 2011 I decided to repair the fins and completely repaint the model.

    Here a picture before I begann the restoration:
  • Click me...

    It had gone through some tough times.

    On 7th October, 2013 I decided to retire this old rocket.

    Pro Series II line.

    On 17th May 2014 I certified NAR level 1 using a CTI H-163 with this rocket.
    I also modified the upper section of the nose cone to incorporate an altimeter which I made and was used for dual deploy recovery.

    The first generation of the kit came with a bright orange self-adhesive sheet.
    Later Estes switched to an orange water slide decal sheet.
    The instructions where changed from "Application of self-adhesive decals" to
    "Application of Water-Transfer Decal (A)"
    Also, at some point, the "2 Contact Cement Capsule" where no longer included.
