This was another of my non-glider favorites back when it came out. Just enough 'buildiness' to it to not be 3FNC fare, without being 'fiddly bitz' hard. Left off the dorky landing pads BTW.

Made a 2.6" upscale of this back in '93, and flew it on Rocketflite F50SS motors. Well, twice anyways, as those large fins did not take a reflight too well!!

Estes then reused those exact fins on a BT80 dorky model, Alien Probe or something.
