Anybody know what this is??
I got a query from a friend a few days ago asking help with identifying a model. The picture was on eBay with a Designer's Special....but clearly this is a set of kit instructions. The thing is, we can't quite figure out what kit it is. Anybody know?
Here's a crop of the image:

Not a kit.
Set of parts for a DOM design.

Definitely looks like an MRN DOM plan to me...but it's not appearing in any of my MRN's (and I've got a lot of 'em). Anybody else have their MRN plans in a searchable database?

DWolman might know. He has the kit plan listed on an old thread:

Very interesting. Plan is definitely Estes. But it looks... somewhat... like the North Coast Quasar NG, and less like the Estes Quasar of old.

I think it says "Quazar" with a z....and the only hit I got on "Estes Quazar" was the 2006 post that BARGeezer links to above.

Best I can figure, it is a foreign clone.

However, *this* http://www.ninfinger.org/rockets/no...a/77est058.html picture, from page 59 of the 1977 Estes Catalog, shows a rocket that looks rather like the Quazar (it has forward-swept fins). And just for completeness' sake (seeing that the Quazar is/was an Estes plan), the Centuri "public plans" (not kit plans, but plans submitted by individuals) were included in their catalogs and the catalogs' article inserts: http://www.ninfinger.org/rockets/rockets.html . I'm sorry that I wasn't able to be of more help, but I was at least able to eliminate what and where it *wasn't*, which will hopefully narrow the search.

It's an Estes DOM (Design of the Month) plan. "Winner of the May 1978 Design of the Month Contest by Michael Hardman - Cary, N.C." is the text below the plan name. that came from my copy of the plan.
