RE: Anyone have any experience with the Estes T25 Centurian?
I have seen other rocket powered glider plans out there if your into building from scratch. My Strato Blaster was a kit ten years ago! I thought it was discontinued and brought back as the Centurion ARF. I could be wrong, but if you can find the strato blaster kit, let me know where, I want to build another one! The plans I have are also ten years old, one is a delta wing with two engines called a lady hawk and the other is a front canard called the sky blaster. I ordered them both from RC Modeler magazine way back.
I have only broke one tail boom, one time. It broke loose from the wing and glued back on easily. The rocket engine launches are getting expensive, GO .049 power! I found that if I have a nice long approach and keep the wings level all the way down to the grass the plane seems to float an amazing distance before touching the ground. Making for nice gentle landings.
