Sold Venus Model Rocketry - Fiberglass Micro Builder Pack - "Steamer" Model

[kidagain]

I have 2 of these sets. The hangtags a not in great shape, but the items inside a sealed and in pristine shape. I'm posting on Ebay to sell. I am an avid Model rocket collector, but these are a bit of an anachronism to me as I do not know what type of engines they take. Production around early 2000's. Please see images.

These apparently use the Quest MicroMaxx motors.

Interesting, this is the first time I've seen a fiberglass airframe on an MX rocket.
Wonder how heavy it is?

That was my thought, too. But looking at the tubes in the listing, they may be made from very thin fiberglass. I have some sheets that are only 0.003" thick, like a sheet of paper. A 9" x 12" sheet only weighs 0.372 oz.

Equally crazy: 1/64" plywood fin stock.

Points for originality, that's for sure.

This is not fiberglass like the preformed filament wound ones used in high-power. This is two layers of hand laid 25 g/m^2 glass. He sold 40mm diameter kits that flew on Estes A motors; those weighed about 10 g without motor or recovery device.
