Old picture of old rockets
Hi Guys, I found these two pics at my Mom's this weekend and pasted them together. The date is 1985 based on the guitars.... I still have all of the rockets in this pic, and fly most of them!!

Al, Under your edit screen will be an area that says Additional Options. In there is a button that says Manage Attachments. Click that to put pics in your messages.

... and if you are running a pop-up manager type utility, you may have to disable it so the smaller file management window can open. (e.g. With Pop-Up Stopper hold the Ctrl key when clicking the button). Been there, done that.

Very niiiiiiiice!
Let's see if I can pick out all the sci-fi ones..... Pic 1 (L to R) - I see a Galactic Taxi, a Wolverine, a Solar Sailer II, and the Starfighter Combo Pack (Orion Starfighter and Torellian Invader). Pic 2 - We've got a Solar Warrior, a Scorpius and what looks like two Falcon Commanders, one in original paint scheme and the other in some sort of tan. Pic 3 - There's a Hawkeye, a FoxFire, the Star Seeker from the Mini Tri-Pak, and of course, an X-Wing and R2-D2. Did I miss any? Later, EV |

Thanks , collections been growing for a few years, as you can see, quality of build is generally improving as well, which is always good :-) I see you like the Sci-Fi ones, same as me, so looking at your note..... Pic 1 - have all you noted, lol (note the crumbling canopy decal ont eh torrellian invader, as I noted in other thread,re: decals for these ). (hiding in there someplace is a Red Eye as well. Pic 2 - missed the vintage original Laser X (left end),as for the Falcon Commander, one is original, the other is a scratchbuilt using that cone, that I called "Space patrol 911" (many years back, it's semi-stable so might wind up using it for parts /nosecone to build a Skytracer ( that I;ve always wanted) . I think some or most of the fins I used on that were from the Mini-Shuttle, so maybe build one of those as well :-) Pic 3 - depends what you think of as Sci-Fi, lol - you have good eyes to catch that Star Seeker, though :-) , the Blue rocket in the foreground ( have to put the smaller ones in back due to roof slope :-( .... is a ' Flying Jato' from Model Rocketeer plans, early 80's . ( also the trophy is my F Altitude win from WUBBA 6,not sure the year offhand, won with a basically stock Cherokee D on FSI F7-6 :-) might get some pics of the 'larger' rockets when I can get em all lined up nice and neatly, instead of in a big pile .... ~ AL now it;s others' turns to post pics of thier collections, so * I * can drool :-) |

Go for it Al! After getting back into the hobby myself within the past four months, I found an old Venom kit with that nose. I didn't know what I was going to build with it. I just knew I needed that cone. After searching the catalogs, I decided on the Skytracer. It was never one I was all that excited about, but as I went through building and flying it, I've grown to dig the design more and more. Here's the lowdown; http://forums.rocketshoppe.com/show...light=skytracer I still haven't figured out how to re-create the rear nozzles yet, but somebody recommended the ramjet tips and cones from Semroc's SST Shuttle kit. I just picked up one of those the other day, so when I break it open to build, I'll see how the nozzles work on the Skytracer. Later, EV |

that Skytracer clone looks good EV :-) might have to try that one - I was worried about the pods myself, then looking at the plans at jim Z's right now and realized those are BT5 based, not the oddball sizes like on my F61 I had. as for the nozzles - let me know on the SST shuttle ones ( does Carl offer those seperately ? ) I believe Moldin Oldies has the SST nozzle set as well, so will try there, too . thanks for the encouragement :-) ~ AL |
