You do not see many of these in this early style packaging.

You Take Care, Jimi D

Jimi, thanks for your response. Yes, this appears to be a VERY early package style, and if one looks at the kit contents, it appears to contain a very simple four sided parachute. One of the pieces of paperwork, from best I can read in the photos, seems to indicate a recent change (improvement, they call it) which states that the builder should ignore the fin 'pattern' in the instructions, since the fin designs are now already 'pre-printed' on the balsa sheet! Wow, how advanced!

So, it may not be version 1.0 for the ol' Arcon kit, but fairly close it would seem.
