    Estes;

    Big Daddy (Orig One)
    Fat Boy
    Tidal Wave

    Quest;

    Big Rage

    Or keep an eye on eBay. These kits show up there from time to time.

    I first launched a model rocket in June of 2004 and was *immediately* hooked. Today, I have kits or have built rockets from:
    ASP, Custom, Edmonds, Estes, Fliskits, InFlight, Neubauer, PD Rockets, Quest, Red River Rocketry, Rokitflite, Semroc, plus several more scratchbuilt rockets.
    After about a year of being pretty inactive, I've got the bug again in the summer of 2011!

    If by original Big Daddy you mean the D-engine version then yes, I have it. I don't have the other three available.

    Having a Big Daddy is one thing, getting it to you in the UK is another. It will fit in a box that can be shipped USPS First Class International, but just barely. Any crush damage to the box will end up damaging the kit. The better option is USPS Priority International, but that shipping method is expensive.

    It may not be an "official" Fat Boy but it is (for all practical purposes) the same thing, especially if you are going to build and fly it
    In dog beers, I've only had one....

    I have the decals. Sorry but they are not stickers. The ones I sell are waterslide.

    Wait a minute! I looked through my "stuff" I have a "sticker set" of Fat Boy decals. Buy a set of waterslide and I'll throw them in. They were for a Fat Boy I built for EARS a few years back and everybody there signed it so no stickers!

    Flat rate shipping to England is $13.45 U.S. for a flat rate Priority mail envelope(4 to 6 days to the UK). That will hold 25 or 30 sheets of decals so get an order together with friends and save shipping.

    You did?

    HAH! there it is..."Nice to Meet You, Karl.." Right between the launch lug and a fin.

    Sooooo...let me see if I got this right.

    The Fat Boy kit with the decals came with me to London. I didn't put the decals on so they came back with me, now if I send them back to you they will have about 18,000 miles on them or 30,000Km.

    Not bad for just 18mm motor power!
