JimZ's Site
JimZ has done a little work on his site. There are some new items and his background has changed. He also has added some old Estes pen-and-ink artwork of the Mars Lander, which was on order form envelopes and stuff back in the old days. I loved the old Estes artwork like that.

It was interesting to open this from the Jim Z. Site and see a photo on the upper left of my rocket built in 1993 for the NARAM 35 odd rock contest, “We’re not exactly rocket scientists”. It pre dates the Flis Acme Spitfire. I think Jim Flis was at that NARAM so I hope it planted the seed for the Acme Spitfire. |

Space Crater is OOP already? I just saw one at HL about an hour ago.
BTW: It's great that JimZ is getting his groove back! |

Nope, I asked Jim about it and he said he would take any of the kits. I have been scanning anything I make but have been a little too busy to spend the time to put specific notes on the tube sizes/ etc. Estes didn't have the plans for it either as he asks not to include the plans as Estes if Estes has them already.

I still have a few sheets of that stationary somewhere around here. I completely forgot about it.

I got some in an old Estes Aerospace Team kit I got in an eBay lot of paperwork years ago. There are a bunch of NARAM range box decals on YORP that were in that batch as well. One of my late night "Buy It Now" deals. I had to buy it. I was commanded.

Glad to see the JimZ site active again! It's always been an invaluable treasure trove of past rocket plans and info.

I also like JimZ's new an improved website. I wonder how putting up plans for current kits will go with the new owners of Estes. Not that it matters - many of the new "plans" are low quality. He's just accepting anything and throwing partially complete information up thaere as "plans."
