Googling Contest Products
Among the old stuff we'll be selling through auctions on eBay are several items from Contest Products of Fanwood, NJ. Most of the items are thin plastic parachutes. One is a package of blue "tracking powder" which we currently have up for auction.
So, I decided to see what I could find out about Contest Products through the oracle we call Google. The first reference I found is in a YORF post: Quote:
The reference is on page 39 in the October 1971 issue of Model Rocketry: http://www.ninfinger.org/rockets/Mo...04n01_10-71.pdf It's page 41 of the PDF under "New Product Notes." A photo of Gary Lindgren's V-2 appears on page 20 of the November 1970 issue of Model Rocketry. Gary himself is pictured on the next page receiving a trophy: http://www.ninfinger.org/rockets/Mo...03n02_11-70.pdf There's also a photo in that issue of him preparing a two-stage rocket using gap staging. Well, that's all I could find about Contest Products. Not much .... -- Roger |
