MPC Martian Patrol Video
Jimmy Yawn got a great video of my MPC Martian Patrol launch at last Saturdays N.E.F.A.R. launch.
http://nefar.net/gallery/2016-05/index.html Scroll down to "Mars Patrol" The engine was a C6-3 not a C6-5. One saucer hovers the other one flips. For those who remember it, a rare one.

It is a great field, a sod farm. N.E.F.A.R. is also a very well run club.

Rare rocket in action!
Mars Patrol is a frustratingly odd rocket. Other than the cool saucers it is a standard mix-of-MPC parts. Hard to find parts, so it would be difficult to clone. I think it would be interesting to make a "revamp" Martian Patrol, with mecha-organic decor. Kind of like the Exoskel that Estes made. Veins and blobs and batwings. Two saucers hanging onto the body, like the original. I wonder how you'd go about make custom foam discs?
