Any pics of the Phoenix and Phoenix II ?!
Sure, they are the small silver ones on the right in the first pic, but here are up close ones as well.
They are simply made from salvaged parts from some students' mistakes. They failed to insert the engine mounts all the way before the glue set, so I gave them new body tubes and engine mounts in exchange and cut their original ones down to make smaller rockets out of them, also reusing nose cones from crashed and discarded rockets. That should also explain the reason behind their names. They actually get some excellent altitude do to their minimalist design.

Edit: Note that these up close pictures were taken just after building and before any fights. The finish is more dull now with small chips on the fins, and some fins have been reglued after rough landings.

Also, a recent PM leads me to believe that I was not very clear in the original posting that I will not ship any engines. Also, I will only sell the engines to an adult. I'm willing to drive a reasonable distance to meet someone locally, but am only willing to ship the kits and parts, maybe a completed rocket if I can figure out how to protect it. Still offering the best deal for anyone willing to come pick up the whole lot from me.
 
Edited to reflect lower asking price. Now it's like paying only $2 per engine and getting everything else for free! I got some unexpected home repairs to pay for, so I'll entertain any reasonable offers on some or all.
