https://stores.whatsuphobby.com/polecat-aerospace-10-saturn-v/ lots of other ones. Not it stock yet but I never saw these before...
I noticed too no kits are available.I spoke with Jack out there several months ago and he said he was intending to crank the kit production back up in November. Looks like it's becoming a reality! I have a 10" Thumper already but I'll be snatching up a Wocket as soon as they are available!
That's great news Johnly!I saw Jack a few weeks ago along with boxes and boxes of airframe tubing. Hopefully production will be in operational mode before flying season.

I never saw all the ten inch rockets this time last year
That's great news Johnly!
The airframe tubing on Polecats are really nice, much better than I could do, without making a large mess and sanding for days!
I may just wait it out, save a few bucks and get the larger Bull Pup kit.
Thanks.

I painted the outside of mine with a layer of Aeropoxy and then sanded it down to get it to fit. Hardened the surface... no more peeling problems.I only had one complaint about my now deceased 5.5" Nike Smoke, and that was that the cardboard used for the electronics bay loved to peel and bundle up. I had to keep pulling layers off of it to get it in the tube.
Glue it! It's a fat coupler that you can get your hands into, and then the end of the bay doesn't flop around/leak gas/whatever.That, and the fact that only one of the e-bay bulkheads was stepped to fit inside the coupler, the other just floats on the end freely.
I added a layer of Carbon-Kevlar on the inside of my coupler and it survived an end-over-end freefall onto playa from a couple thousand feet.
I just noticed that his 5.5 " goblin is not scaled right 14" x 4 (400%) scale is 56" not his 36" or so ? Why is it upscale of a different kit number ?
Scaled to what? I think there Polecats own design not scales of anything
