My first MPR kit was the Eliminator from North Coast Rocketry in 1991 or 1992. I've been searching the web for info on NCR, I guess they were bought as an experiment by Estes and then folded. A bunch of the links I've come up with for the NCR Eliminator (not the Estes) mention 3 fins, mylar decals, and other stuff that sounds nothing like mine which had 4 fins and a poor decal sheet that really didn't work.
I'm also wondering about the motors. Info I've found mentions how all North Coast Rockets were specifically designed to accept only Black Sky motors or something, and a lot of people modified them. Well, I didn't modify anything, and mine has a 29mm mount and I've always flown Aerotech motors. Am I in the twilight zone on this rocket or something? Granted I did some things in college and early 20's that might've affected my memory, but not like this...
