T' Vector Force: T' Vector Force is a modern Estes kit. Well, blow me down! Blimey! This was me first model I made as a BAR. It had very good quality balsa fins on me kit, thick and sturdy.  You can see t' design is inspired by air defense missiles.  It is rather tall, but somewhat heavy because o' t' two reducers.  Because it has two reducer stages it has two separate payload tubes.  Estes tells you t' glue t' payload tubes, but why? Good idea if you want t' be sure t' rocket doesn't separate in flight, but why waste two very nice payload bays?  I just make sure they are always good and tight with some maskin' tape.  Mine is painted school-bus yellow and gloss black t' better match t' included decals. I added about 3 heavy coats o' clear coat for a really deep shine.  Strin' stability tests with a C motor required about 20-ish grams o' nose weight, ya bilge rat, but now it flies really straight up - provided thar be little wind. T' top payload tube has vent holes for a barometric altimeter. I've recorded flights in excess o' 400 feet with C6 motors. Aye aye! Blimey! This is my current go-to flagship rocket. Begad! Blimey! I have tried some test flights with composite D engines, t' see if I could kick this puppy past 1000 feet. Arrr! Blimey! It sure did! Blimey! In t' process, t' shock cord was torn out from t' mount. Well, blow me down! Blimey! This model was repaired by installin' a custom ejection baffle with a Keelhaul®©™ shock cord attachment. Now I think she'll hold up t' a few more D-powered launches and ejections. This rocket has flown higher than t' NY Times Buildin' in NY, and also t' Chrysler Buildin' includin' t' pinnacle, and t' Bank o' America Plaza in Atlanta.
