$12.95 was a lot of cash in them days, |
I have the Baron.
I bought it back before Estes/Damon bought Vashon (Original manufacturer).
I never flew it with the glider as flying the rocket alone was always 'exciting'. 
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.
