    For Sale Quest 2008 - HL20

    It's another beautiful paper shrouded rocket, again reminiscent of the old Centuri Bug. In this case, it’s the Quest HL20. To me, that means this should immediately be snapped up at 10x the price but, as a realist, I am asking for a much more modest price. Snap it up before somebody snaps it. I...

    For Sale HotRod Rockets - Crazy Diamond

    Here is another offering from "HotRod Lincoln" of HotRod Rockets. In this case, it's a fairly simple design of 4 fins, BT and nose cone but the name comes from the geometry of the fins. They look like big diamonds. It streaks up on 18mm power and then comes down by streamer. That was always my...

    Sold Semroc KA8 - Texas Firefly

    This firefly looks a lot different than the fireflies I remember chasing as a kid in Texas but I suppose the work that goes into recovering both stages is somewhat analogous because, yes, it is a 2 stage rocket. It's kind of an old school design at that.. Actually, the size reminds me more of...

    For Sale FSI Mrk VI - Orbit

    FSI is one of the classic companies of antiquity, established when dinosaurs still roamed the earth and Noah had not even been rated as an able seaman yet. All of the FSIT kits I have built have been of high quality although the diesgns are a bit archaic. This is one I never built but I have no...

    Sold Fliskits SP014 - UFFO

    I have a confession. For some reason, I never really cared for the cup rockets like the Decafeinator and this one. I built them and they performed great, they were especially popular with kids and visitors to our launches but, for some reason, I wasn't all that into them. That said, they were...

    Sold Semroc KV28 - Goliath

    I sure miss the old Semroc even though I am no longer actively building or flying. It was just always a great experience to deal with Carl and his people and I always learned something. When I was a kid, I knew about Centuri and Estes and never heard about Semroc. I wish I had. The Goliath is...

    For Sale Fliskits SP002 - Tumbleweed

    I've never built this rocket but, as best I can tell, I've built plenty like. That's assuming that my assumption is correct that this is the Jim Flis version of the Old Estes Sprite. It seems so to me and that would be a good thing because the Sprite was a good design, all the upscales and...

    Sold Squirrel Works SW006 - X-RV Boost Glider

    Has it been at least 24 hours since I mentioned that I love paper shrouded rockets? Strangely enough, it has been even longer sing I've mentioned my consistently bad luck with gliders. If you buy this one, you might even get to shut me up for 24 hours or so! (Just kidding. I'm a preacher, I...

    For Sale Estes 0891 - Prime Number Explorer

    The "backstory" of the Prime Number Explorer is that it's a probe to explore the origian of a presumably alien signal consisting of prime numbers. Maybe the aliens are supposed to appreciate the arrangement of a set of 5 finlets spaced evenly between 5 fins. Maybe they will be impressed with the...

    For Sale Squirrel Works SW012 - Vulture

    The squirrels do an excellent job catching the essence of the old fashioned, 50s SciFi rockets. Here is an example, conceived as the ship belonging to a bad guy. For a modest fee, it could be the genesis of your career of plundering the galaxy! It flies on 18mm power and has parachute recovery...

    For Sale ASP KWTH1824 - Way Too High

    Ever have a rocket you just don't want to be ever seen again? If so, it would probably be a high performing 2 stage that would let you use 24mm power for both stages. In that case, Have I got a deal for you! Don't confuse this with the Too High, also from ASP and which I also have listed right...

    Sold Art Applewhite - 24mm Helix

    There's one ahead of you. I'll let you know if that one falls through.

    Sold Art Applewhite - 24mm Helix

    Monocopters can be kind of fiddly and require a lot of finesse to operate properly, unless they came from Art Applewhite, in which case they are fool proof. I know! I'm the fool who tested them out.. As with all Applewhite kits, it is fairly easy to build and it works well. It "does more with...

    For Sale Squirrel Works SW014 - Ajax

    I really like the retro scifi look and this kit provides that abundantly. The Ajax looks like it came right out of an old serial from the 50s and is ready to set down on her tail on a strange new alien world. It just screams 1950s! It flies on 18mm power and recovers by parachute. It is new and...

    For Sale Sunward 037 - Space Speedster

    I suppose most are, by now, tired of hearing me say how much I loved the paper shrouded rockets. This offering is from Sunward, not one of the usual suspects. The idea is simple: paper can be folded to achieve body contours that would be difficult ot pull off using just balsa wood. Besides, the...

    For Sale ASP KTH18 - Too High

    ASP made some good quality kits. It's a shame they are not better known. This one can be thought of as an introductory 2 stage rocket but it harkens back to when actually building the rocket was the idea rather than slapping some RTF pieces together. It is designed so that the builder has the...
