I have no problem with the Dr. Zooch kits and like them.
His Mercury Redstone is a nice re-creation of a simpler Estes K-41, his Space Shuttle full-stack is nice, and the Pointy-nose Saturn I is really cool.



Sorry GH; no offense intended!
Because your response was after Luke's, I thought you were referring to the Dr.Zooch kits.
The main reason I like the old Estes Bt-60 Sat V is its nostalgic value to me. I built one when I was 12 ( I think) and thought it was cool. Have to agree with you on the clear fins for stability, though. The one on EBay now is WAY out of my price range, tho!
