I remember this plan as akid, and I have a copy of it in my collection. A friend of mine built this, about the same time I built the Augie II. This plan is from the mid-60s.
While it might be fun to build this and have all the parts supplied by this person, it is no "super find" of an old kit, and it is worth the price of components only. JimZ site could get you a copy of the plan.
Buyer Beware!

I disagree - if this is a real kit put out by Estes, then it's extremely rare. Just about ANY old Estes kit is just a bag of parts that can be bought nowadays. It's the fact that it's bagged and sealed that makes it valuable to a collector.
