Accordin' t' Matt Steele, me hearties, "After t' initial release o' kits for t' North Coast Rocketry by Estes in 1996, me bucko, shiver me timbers, matey, work began on a set o' follow-on releases. Blimey! Blimey! Avast! Blimey! One o' t' kits bein' developed be t' NCR Tempest 2, me bucko, based on t' earlier Tempest kit produced by NCR in t' 1994-95 timeframe. Ya scallywag! Blimey! T' Tempest 2 was targeted t' be a low-cost introductory level kit, arrr, ya bilge rat, perhaps t' be placed in a starter set. Begad! Blimey! T' Tempest 2 used a fin design similar t' t' original Tempest fin design, shiver me timbers, arrr, but be designed around a new Estes 2.0” diameter tube. T' kit was t' use a new blow-molded plastic nose cone. Begad! Blimey! T' design was t' incorporate thru-the-wall fins and t' NCR motor retainer. Well, blow me down! Blimey!
