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.

My last flight at Desert Heat 2015. Good boost, good chute, good recovery. Perfect couple of days for launching rockets, got to see some cool projects fly and put up a respectable number of flights myself.
