Hi,
Stop by eBay and take a look at my auction for a early 1970s FSI Micro Rocket MRK VII.
FSI Micro (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170538190810&ssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:US:1123)
This kit appeared in the 1971 FSI catalog. The catalog page is identical to the insert. It is obviously a 1971 (or early 70's) kit since it had the Louisville, Colo. address on
the insert. However, this is lined-out and the card-stock hanger tab has the Raytown, Mo.address with a hand-written "MRK-8". So, it appears the kit was packaged in the
early 1970's and the card-stock hanger was attached after FSI relocated. FSI relocated some time between 1971 and 1974.
This is a very nice kit with plywood fins, a round elastic shock-cord, over-sized launch lug, balsa nose cone, snap-swivel, reusable flame-proof wadding (spun fiber) and an over-sized parachute.
The packaging is unopened and in very good/excellent condition. The contents appear to be in perfect/like new condition. The only noted exception is adhesive on the tabs for the shroud lines has dried.
Opening bid $30 and no reserve.
Regards,
- Kevin
