The main body tube was bent or crushed in rather. I don’t know if I can repair it or not. I don’t know if y’all will do anything about it or not, but I wish that I could get a new body tube for the main body tube of the top stage. I started ordering from Estes since I was about 10 years old and I’ve been ordering quite a few rockets lately because I’m retired now and wish to continue it. I started back up about two years ago because I found out two places here where I live that have rocket societies with places to launch them and I enjoy it.

Excellent rocket kit
Kit is well thought out. Balsa pieces were precise and easy to understand. Build was not difficult.I look forward to its launch soon.

Replacement Astron Shrike delivered.
I'm happy to report that I just received my replacement Astron Shrike this afternoon and it is undamaged. Thanks for the prompt service. Suggestion: I noticed that although the large box provides good protection for fragile models, the model was placed on the bottom of the box. It would be better to have it in the middle of the box suspended by the packing on all sides. The Shrike in particular has an 18" BT50 which could be easily damaged by an impact to the bottom of the box which is what probably happened to the original Shrike while being handled by delivery drivers who are frequently in a rush and sometimes toss packages around. Again, thank you for the good service.
