*****DISREGARD!*****

I have located one and have purchased it. Thanks for reading!

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Soon it will be time to try my luck at L3 and I'd love nothing more than to attempt it with a 10" Polecat Thumper (or Goblin) but, alas, they are not in production at this time. If anyone out there has one still in kit form and you would like to part with it, please PM me here. Thanks!

That 10" Thumper is wonderful. Have you called Jack at whatsuphobbies.com about getting one? There was a rumor that he was getting ready to start doing more...

I haven't called recently. I last spoke with him probably 6 months ago maybe? That's great news if it's true!! I'll give him another call and lobby him as much as I can.

Please let us know what he says...

I wanted a 10" Goblin, so I've decided to do an upscale using 11.5" PML parts. I have to glass the airframe and cut the fins myself, but that's not a big chore. I posted an OR file for a clustered variant I've been musing over in this thread if you want to get an idea of how it looks.

Spoke with Jack earlier this evening and he is reporting that they will be starting production again sometime after the middle of November.

So, is it to be a Goblin or a Thumper?

I prefer the nike smoke. I always wanted a V2.

I really liked the...ah...person that was holding the Nike Smoke on the whatsuphobbies web site. I always had a hard time finding the rocket in that particular picture.

Gorgeous rocket and nice liftoff!! I presume all went well? Any tips or tricks about building one of these you can share?

To funny, I went back to look for a review I did on the rocket and it was all redone in "Talk Like a Pirate"
