Ebay Alert
There is a very old Estes Sky Hook kit currently at auction on Ebay. I want to notify any potential bidders here on YORF that, although the kit is described as 'sealed in the bag', it has actually been opened and stapled shut. This will greatly reduce the value of this kit. I sent a question to the seller on the 22nd questioning the accuracy of his description but seller has not replied. Take a look......................

I would pay $5 for the parachute, $5-$10 for the nose cone and body tube, and perhaps $25 for the instructions. So $35-$40 for that kit max. I suppose you could add a bit for the shipping box and brochure. Let's see what it goes for...................

The smaller Dyna-Jet Whiz jets flew quite well, especially the Hi-start launched version. One of my older brothers had the larger Cold Propellant powered jet. The only flight of it that I remember is one where he apparently under-charged the motor, which was a length of thick-walled rubber tubing with red plastic forward and rear closures. The motor hissed but didn't produce sufficient thrust, and the model fell after he gently tossed it.
