Thanks for posting that link. It appears that the Mega Mosquito is gone.

That skill level 5 Odyssey looks like fun!

The Mega Mosquito is almost always on clearance. Not surprising it got discontinued.
Not sure who the company was, but there was a 6" diameter 54mm J-powered upscale Mosquito kit called the Skeeter. It was 6" diameter and about 4' tall including the length of the swept fins that extend WAY below the base of the body tube.
That thing was neat.
The 'mega' Estes one with thin wall LPR tubing and 24mm power, not so much.

The Screamin Eagle is gone?!

That's disappointing.

Increasing its lead as the longest-in-continuous production model rocket kit.


I'm kind of surprised that the PSII composite motors are still in the catalog.
