Some time later they found out that Loretta was ill. Another interesting thing that weekend was the flight of what I think was their Bomarc upscale. I have a checkered past with the Bomarc, and I was there watching/photographing as the upscale lifted off and came screaming in ballistic. Totally destroyed. Seems to me there is also a picture of some other prototypes being displayed on the bed cover of a pickup truck. I have these pics somewhere at home, somewhere on a disc. I'll see if I can scare them up this weekend.

I found one. For some reason I was kind of picky when it came to my NSL pics that year. Usually I'd just download them all to Flickr. This is my Sky Shriek and Bunny's big Sprite.

It was a Hawk Hobbies kit. Flies very nice on E9-4's. It's still in my "fleet", but needs a new paint job.

Les you are the man! Thank you my friend! I will post the Rocksim file I'm working on for everyone when I'm done with it.

I've been working on a 168% upscale of the Mars Snooper in Rocksim. Here is 4 views of the rocket. I still have to put in the engine cooling fins. When I'm done, I'll post the file for everyone to enjoy.

I took a hard look at both Estes and Hawk Hobbies plans. I also tried to stay as close to the original as possible to.

These plans are based off of what is on the market now

WAY Cool, Wes !
I always preferred the Mars Snooper II over the original.
Missed out on the Q-Modeling one. They were defunct before I could order one.
