WOW! Talk about a blast from the past!
These are great models, if I do say so myself, and I have yet to build anything as complicated as this series! There are 3 and it took me about 6 months to finish desigining, testing, and getting them ready. For the folks who donated the $5.00 for the kits, I can't thank you enough, and I'm sure the Red Cross, and International Red-Cross put all our money to good use, (I bought a few of my own kits as well
), especially in light of the hurricanes Katrina and Wilma! I always said, when it comes to the Red-Cross, you never know when a little invested, will be paid back later numerous fold! (unfortunately) I'm also sure the troops are enjoying what the USO is providing especially this time of year! Thank you all very much for your donations!
WHen I started these and other rockets at High FLying Cards I had 2 partners to help. They went by the wayside, and I was presented with a choice, of running a business, or making new models. I chose the later. I agreed to a deal later which they were put on a website that posted the models for free, due to mails coming in, hinting, and accusing the funds collected of being pocketed, as well as other various colorful opinions, that I didn't care for.
Well, that was all awhile back, and I havn't made a flying model in awhile now, choosing to concentrate on more elaborate static models instead, and allowing anyone who would like, to convert them for flying.
Thanks for the postings Jason, They're interesting to read, and also it often helps me learn how to improve things for builders. Anyone intrerested can find the SCUDS at
