Was this from a kit
Or is it a home built ? I remember a rocket from the 90's that had similar antennas ( I think that is what they are)
The rocket takes a mini motor and looks like it would not be stable with such small fins. If anyone knows anything about this or if there is a prototype please share, I am at a loss on this one. Thank you |

Looks like the Estes Design of the Month Space Twins core. Two gliders would hook on those dowels.

That is it, now it makes sense. Thank you so much - The "booster" is really built well. I will have to make the gliders for it someday.

You're welcome. I have one and that's why I recognized it right away. I lost one of the gliders though and need to build a new one.

I had bought a "lot" of built rockets mainly to get the Centuri SST Shuttle . I contacted the seller and complimented him on the exceptional workmanship on all the rockets. He told me did not build them that he bought a big box at Goodwill, gave the gliders to his nephew and sold the rest. All I ever see at second hand stores is old clothes - nothing good.

I've got the Space Twins plans, plus a bunch of others I received directly from Estes when I was a kid. I never built that one, but it would be fun. Regarding Goodwill, pretty true regarding good finds. But I buy old pants for a couple bucks to wear while working in the shop. Glue, wood stains, varnish? No worries! Throw them away when they get really bad. I'm sure my wife appreciates that I change out of them when we leave the house and go out in public.
