An Estes Astron Spaceman (see: http://www.ninfinger.org/rockets/ca...1/711est50.html ) built to depict Mr. Tunick would be a good "expendable, first-flight-of-each-flying-session" wind-check rocket. :-) (The other [flyable] rocket on the above-linked 1971 catalog page, the Astron Birdie, would also make a nice Estes kit re-issue, for Mini Motors.) |
