Agree. It's a fun but uncomplicated build.

With the daily dose of misery we get from news, etc. those pics take me back to simple days. Mid 1970's and working on an Estes Astron Shrike in the garage, the smell of sanding sealer, and that used model rocket engine smell, good stuff. Sorry to ramble, just thinking about the old days.


Wow! You and I have pretty similar back stories. I got my start in the mid 70s as well and also share your nostalgia for that time. If you want to hear me ramble on about my start in rocketry, I posted sort of a "show and tell" introduction video on my rocketry YouTube channel I'm using to vlog my projects:

This is a fairly recent pic of my finished builds. A few have been added since this pic was taken.
