Another Ebay rescue
I picked up a partially finished Voyager II on an Ebay auction and it arrived today. I was hoping to to just finish it, but it's in pretty rough shape. It looks kid built, which wouldn't be a bad thing, but the paper fairings are crushed. If I can ger them off I might just clean it up, seal it, paint it, and fly it as is. The decals, face card, and instruction sheet were all included, but they've kind of seen better days. Still a cool rocket and I love that nose cone.

Yeah. I sometimes sneak in a sanding session while I watch a ballgame. Not all of the residue falls into the garbage can.

Did you get what you think you payed for? I've been seeing Estes Saturn Vs for big bucks...

Yeah, I'd have paid the same for this one at a flea market if I ran across it. Like I said, I like that nose cone, so the rest is just gravy.
