Sweet! 5.5" diameter. In the old days the guys used to load it up with Vulcan 29mm H-100 Smokey Sams or Rocketflite Silver Streak F motors...then use 3 different time Thermalite for staggered air starts..great fun!

Thermalite, Ah, the goos stuff. I recently saw some at a yard sale. It was not for sale, but the owned has some squirreled away is his garage.

Chuck...if he's not involved in Rocketry, He might be worth watching closely....Therm wasn't used for fireworks.....Just sayin.:eyepop:

I thought the same thing. He might have been a rocket guy at one time. I know he has several old kits for sale.

I almost picked one of these kits up just before Vaughn Brothers folded... but I'm the clustering type flier. Still, one cool rocket!
