Maybe that was the case towards the end of F.S.I.
They did send me an Orbit kit to review in the mid-1970s. It was a great surprise.
The fit of the centering rings rivaled the accuracy of the laser cut rings you see today.
The nose cone and adapter fit was as good, if not better than anything I'd ever recieved from Estes or Centuri.
Sure, the packaging wasn't four color and the instructions weren't as polished. But, it was a surprisingly good build and flew well on the F engines.
F.S.I. was a big supporter of NAR. I met up with Lonnie Reese and Doug Pratt at two different NARAMs.
