Hi all,
I'm about[/U] to become a BAR (you know, 'for the children' :wink. Seriously, though my nephews and nieces are of the age now that I want to introduce them to all the fun I had when I was a kid building and flying rockets.
I'm going back through my memory (with the immense help of this forum) remembering all the rockets I built 30 or so years ago - none are left - house fire took care of them (not rocketry related!). There's one, though, that I remember having, but I can't remember the name and I haven't located on here, yet.
It was a low power kit with a piggy backed glider. I'm pretty sure it was Estes, but I built plenty of Centuri models, too. The booster rocket was pretty standard, maybe around 2' tall, and the glider was fairly small with approx. an 8-10" wingspan. If I recall, the glider's tail fins nestled in between two of the rockets fins. My paint job was white with green fins and I think that was the stock paint scheme.
Any help with my fading memory would be appreciated!
