This was the forst rocket that I built back in 1974, and I still have it! I bought it because it was the cheapest rocket at the hobby shop that had a parachute, and it still left me enough money to but a pack of 4 mini-brute motors in a blue diamond box. I cloned it later and painted it like the catalog this time.

Bill Eichelberger's 2005 EMRR review of the Estes Screamer and the photo of Mike Goss' gorgeous Aero-Hi at Excelsior rocketry's website were the two triggers that initially kicked off my interest in Estes Mini Brute rockets. I previously posted photos of my Screamer. Here is my clone of the Aero-Hi.
