Another thread got me thinking about my old Estes Mark II that I built in 1971. It cost a whopping $1.00.
Heres a link from Ninfinger of the 1971 Estes Fall Catalog.https://www.ninfinger.org/rockets/catalogs/estes712/712est56b.html
Its not my first rocket, lost that one on its first flight. Dad didnt think binoculars were necessary. Finally he said hed get me a new one if we lost it. Had a new one the next day. Still have it too.
So lets see those old rockets you old farts!
Heres a picture of my 43 year old Mark II next to a beat up 2.6 inch upscale we call Mark 2.6. Of course its far too old and fragile to fly now.
