time for one more
ok, in researching ( read - surfing YORP for goodies ) ... I found this issue American Rocketer, Vol 1, No 3 .
see page 12. http://www.oldrocketplans.com/pubs/...eer_vol3no1.pdf this Don Sahlin photo sequence ... wow, copy of this bird is in my hoard. see attatched photo, I figured it was scratchbuild, poor mans Quasar, but the hoard dates from mid to late 60's ( pre Quasar ) . definately based on this bord... all I can say is wow . input ? |

snapped a pic of the cones I have.
note two on left are hardwood cones and do match - I believe these could be Bomar cones as well . other is the chromed BOMAR cone. nice hollow molded cone, no base or screweye/ line attatch point. Seeing as BOMAR was in Syracuse, NY ( about 90 min from me, and an hour from where I purchased this lot ) . not surprised. but curious none of thier items have turned up before. will keep info coming as I find any, appreciate any feedback or tips ~ AL |

Al,
Thanks for sharing the picture of the nose cones. I don't think I ever bought any BOMAR items as they were only around for a couple of years. I am looking forward to seeing details on the other items. The design of the month Antares is something I do remember and it is most likey our Ed La Coix. My daughter, Antares, turns 35 tomorrow!. Chas |
