Vason supplied Monokote to cover the fins of the rocket and the wing/tail of the glider. I had my Mom iron on the Monokote. She did an excellent job, too.

LAUNCH magazine had a look back at Vasion several issues ago, if someone is interested in the company history.

You can find the article about VASHON in the March/April 2007 issue of LAUNCH (Saturn 1-B on the cover) on page 58.
