I'd love to see someone re-issue the Miniroc kits. Not only do they look sharp and fly very well (the Taurus-1 [one built without the "just for looks" strap-on boosters] and Pipsqueak set 13 mm rocket altitude records, and the Super Star may have as well), but their slight increase in diameter over BT-5 mini motor rockets (the 15 mm tubing is stronger than BT-5, too) enables parachutes as well as streamers to be packed inside the Minirocs. Plus, allowing the BT-5 size motor mount tube to protrude 1/4" out the rear of the 15 mm body tube (and letting the motor protrude 1/4" from the BT-5 tube) makes it easy to secure the mini motor in place, by wrapping one layer of masking tape around the rear end of the mini motor and the protruding 1/4" of the BT-5 motor mount tube.
