THAT'S IT!!!!! That's the rocket I received as a gift when I was about 9 or 10! It came with a small can of RP-100 propellant, which had just enough to fly it about six or seven times if you carefully managed the loading. 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!

Craig.................just curious, what year would that have been? The seller claims this is from the 1960's. Joe |

The page mentioned late 60's to early 70's, which fits when I received it. It was after both Apollo 11 and Hurricane Camile (1969). We had recently moved into a neighborhood where the schoolyard was about 10 houses up the street. It also had to be before 1972, when we moved again. The rocket lasted one good session, mostly because my dad and I could never locate another can of RP-100.

Really? Every auto supply store had them. I remember working at Whitlock Auto here in Milwaukee in the late 70's and stocking the shelves with cans and cans of the stuff. They sold for like 97 cents a can. It was just Freon.

Yeah, looking back at it all in hindsight, it was probably in every Western Auto and (in the south) Bellas-Hess automotive department, too. Strange that we never gave it a try, though...

Ah, yes. The BOINK Stomp rockets are an old MASA tradition. I flew one at our club launch on Saturday. I honestly don't recall which MASA member originally came up with BOINK... Unfortunately, the local surplus store ran out of the cheap foam stomp rockets years ago. Alan
