I think I have one of these. That said, does anybody know the diameter? It was given to me and I never knew the name. Jeff Davenport told me he thought it was a Skyraider, however I am not sure.

Apparently, several sizes were made. There is a current thread in the main gallery section that might have some info that would help.

I will check what notes I have when I get home tonight but I suspect that my not listing a size meant that at the time the header was made, I had no further information.
 
According to an ad in a 1994 issue of High Power Rocketry, the Skyraider, offered at that time by Cluster R, was 7.67" diameter, 90 " tall, came fiberglass nose cone, 3/16" plywood fins, and an 8 foot chute. All for $175. I had the means by which to buy one at the time, but I never did [probably because it would have depleted the means by which I had to fly it].

Thanks for the info!

Does the ad say what the motor mount is?
 
Can't believe I left that out. The motor mount in the 1994 kit was a 54mm central tube and two 38mm tubes.
