It said something about a cold-powererd rocket? I thought it was a 'Estes' Hybrid lol!

Freon "cold power" propellant, by the looks of it. Check this out:

I still have a Vashon "cold power" rocket from the mid-70's. Used to belong to my brother, was only flown maybe 2-3 times. One of these days I want to restore it and fly it again, just for the novelty of it.

Ray, you have any pictures of the kit you could post?

Here is one of mine, the Marauder:

I guess this thing would burn a hole in the ozone layer as it burned a hole in ones pocket, LOL

Not at the moment. Once I get around to restoring it, I'll post pics.

Neat! That must be one of the Estes models, it looks a lot nicer than my Vashon rocket. Mine's pretty cheesy, with a plain styrofoam nosecone and plastic fin tabs glued to the motor. The fins broke off long ago -- I'll probably replace them with something sturdier, like waferglass.

It originally belonged to my brother and was only flown 2-3 times. The flights were a bit disappointing, and that was before I'd ever even seen any other model rocket fly.
