The rocket plan at issue is a custom kit by HSR/Buck and NOT an Ace kit. It is not an Ace Allegro of any description.

Just historically accurate Jerry


Jerry,

I will post this info over there for posterity sake.

Was High Sierra liscensed to make the Ace line ? or did they sell some Ace/ clone some ? . I do recall the Ace line in thier catalogs, same with USR ( got my MOngrel from Buck, as I recall ) .
The one kit he had at LDRS 6 that I regret not bringing home was a Space Dynamics Aerobee, nice composite kit, wonder what ever hapened to that bird ( or Rick Loer ), would love to get my hands on one now .

keep em coming.

ps: waiting for Jason to post the 4 cluster Mini allegro, so I can compare to my vintage rebuild one ( original kit, hung in tree for months, had to be rebuilt, original balsa cone lost )
