Review Summary

The reviews highlight a mix of appreciation for the design and potential modifications of this rocket. Many note its appealing scale-like appearance, easy paint scheme, and the effort required for sanding to achieve a polished finish. There’s also enthusiasm for launching it, with suggestions for converting it into a two-stage rocket for enhanced performance, potentially reaching significant altitudes with specific engine combinations.

Estes Red Nova, Has 2 Stage Potential

By: champfluff

The Estes Red Nova has the look of a 2 stage rocket, but is only a single stage rocket. Just add a stage coupler, extend the stock BT-50 24mm engine mount to another 24mm engine mount at the base mount point of the 2nd set of fins. An internal focusing cone for staging is optional, in the booster. Relocate the launch lugs forward of the booster, add an ejection baffle and nose weight. For the most smoke and fire use an E12-0 in the booster stage and an E12-8 in the sustainer and it should see about 1,500 feet.

Slick pseudo-scale bird

By: wallyum (Ft. Thomas, KY)

Love this one. It's big and chunky and really looks the scale missile part. I also love the easy paint scheme and decals. The Red Nova requires some significant sanding, but the finished product is worth it.
