An older Astron Alpha
Hi gents and ladies...
I nabbed a '60s Astron Alpha from e-Bastad. Opened but with original 'chute,
TR-1, updated centering rings for the motor mount (the earlier ones were thin
paper) and all patterns, etc.
Have the parts to build 3 from Semroc, this one will be fun and only flown w/
1/2 A & A's...
Bob
p.s. The Alpha was my 1st. back in '68...Dad & I launched it at the UOG sport field
in the evening...swish pop and it vanished literally as the Sun settled.
