I sure do!

Now note that there are two different kits of the Mercury Redstone from Estes.

Kit #K-41 has a BT60 main body and kit # 1921 has a 2.03" main body.

I remember that feeling exactly! Enjoy it! It quickly becomes a fever of immense proportions, especially when you see all the incredible offerings out there now.
I turn 50 soon, so the adage, 'so many rockets, so little time' seems to have a little more poignancy now.

Actually three. If he has a #2167, he should order replacements immediately since those peel and stickers were junk right from the factory.

Chrism, Thank you for the welcome back! Allen, as a 50 something myself......i hope to build as many rockets as i can till i drop DEAD! I had mentioned in another post that after 30 years of building/racing r/c hydros and still active in it....im just getting so much enjoyment out of building rockets again...and im AMAZED at the resources that are out there, and the number of nice people that are involved in the hobby.....its a nice change for me in that though i love compitition and racing, im looking so forward to just hangin out with my G-kids and other folks at a big field, just launchin rockets and talkin rockets...nothing competitive, just havin fun enjoyin the hobby!

Three different kits but only 2 different decals.

#1921 and #2167 take the same decals sets from me.

Bill, I look forward to meeting you at TTRA this Saturday. Too bad I cannot fly anything larger than an E motor at this time, but as you'll see, it'll still be worth it.

Should be a fun time if the wind/rain stays lower than last month
