Okay, for you more 'traditional' model rocket fans, here's something rare.

Back in 1990, Canaroc was almost resurrected under the name Space Models, Inc.

It would basically be a re-issue of all the original Canaroc products, including motors.

The company never made it into full production but a few items did get out.

SMI submitted motors to NAR S&T for certification. They did not pass (I was never told why).

At NARAM-41, the auction featured a baggie containing two B18-3 and one C9-5 SMI motors left over from S & T testing and never reclaimed by SMI.

I bid on them and won.

I traded one of the B18s for another motor.

Here's a picture of my SMI motors: B18-3 at top, C9-5 below.
