All sold - thanks matt!
Here's a selection of NIB sport boost and rocket glider kits..
First up, the classic MPC/Quest Flat Cat. These build quick and trim out well, a great intro to learn the tricks of setting up and flying BG's. With some easy mods the design can be still be competitive (replace any heavy wood, use a shaped spruce fuse, replace the nosecone with a lighter vacuum molded one). This kit is complete and unopened, for A8's to c6's (just have some chase room!). 13.5" span and 20" long. Asking $10 plus shipping.
Next, a Starlight Sparrow BG. A very simple flying wing design, looks like the old Northrop N2 with the anhedral wingtips. All balsa parts. 11" span, 6" long, for 18mm 1/2A and A motors. Full details here: https://www.apogeerockets.com/Starlight_Sparrow.asp Asking $5 plus shipping
Her's a real old classic - my first BG, I built one back in the 60's.
NIB SEMROC reproduction kit of the Estes Space Plane. Has the same "kick up" elevon mechanism that made the original seem so, well, space age back in the day! All balsa kit with the typical SEMROC quality. Details here https://www.semroc.com/Store/scripts/RocketKits.asp?SKU=XES-K3 Asking $10 plus shipping.
Last, not really a BG or RG, but a NIB repro kit of the first (that I'm aware of) helicopter/spin recovery design - the classic Estes Gyroc. This is the BMS clone kit with laser cut balsa fins and turned nose cone. Asking $7 plus shipping.
ALL SOLD
