Edit: The source of the photo was R.S. Barker's Scale-Rocketry website. It is captioned as: Kauai (Hawaii) Test Facility, Pad 12 May 14, 1974 x-ray experiment flight. I knew I have saved it from somewhere and I want to give proper credit to Mr. Barker.

Thanks Chas! I don't think the Estes color scheme matches a real Terrier Sandhawk round.

<It looks like there's dingleberries on the ends of the antenna's on the Sandhawk.>

Most likely protective rubber balls to protect the antennas and ground crew. I would imagine that they would leave the party pretty early in the boost.

<Thanks Chas! I don't think the Estes color scheme matches a real Terrier Sandhawk round.>

It is close to the BT-3 Terrier-Sandhawk. I think I have a couple of slides I took of the 8x10 glossies with the circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back - but, I digress. Mike Poss gathered the data in the late '60s and had a model for scale at NARAM-11. I must admit that I don't have the Estes kit so I can not make a close comparison. Maybe someday it will become available.

Chas
