Estes Nova Payloader (1960) back in 1989 when I was 12. I put a cricket in it on the first launch. It came back unharmed.
Wow. I think I'm the first to say "Astron Streak", around 1965-66. At that time the starter kit had the Scout (shortly after, the WAC Corporal, then the Alpha) but with 11 siblings at the time and a father who drove a gasoline truck for a living, money was extremely tight. The Streak was the cheapest rocket they had, similar to the Mosquito but for 18 mm engines.
Parents were kinda pissed when they learned that you needed a new engine for each flight... all that money...
