An Attractive Sport Model
The Estes Crossfire ISX is one of those model rockets that just has that 'cool' look about it.
Perhaps it has something to do with the sleek 'sounding rocket' nose cone and the added tabs on the fins. Whatever it is, I made the determination to have one in the fleet, despite it being a relatively simple 3FNC bird.
The only variation with this model from the face card illustration is that I went with a metallic silver paint treatment on the nose cone and nozzle shroud.
I am anticipating good times at the launch field with this great-looking model.
Looks nice!
ReplyDeleteI admit, I bought my Crossfire specifically to modify it and use a larger motor in it....solely because I saw someone talking about it on a web-site. I just basically left out the motor mount tube and centering rings. The remaining body tube perfectly fit the D motor that I had available. Oh, I had to tape it in, but now I know the appeal of homebrew and experimenting with a kit. Try it.

Might have to make another trip to Hobby Lobby.
