Noticed the page indicated there was no propellant, probably to satisfy eBay, but the package I received had both a small (half?) can, and an Estes catalog...

I thought I'd never see another one again. Thanks for the flashback!
You're most welcome. Also, here's a crazy idea--how about creating a dimensioned plan and decor scheme for this rocket? With a foam rubber nose, a clone of it could be flown safely utilizing the original B.O.I.N.K recovery, using 13 mm mini motors for power.
