Welcome Chris,
You don't need to be a member of NAR or WOOSH to attend our launches so come on out. You may find it is so much fun, you'll want to join the club. We have 2 great low power fields. I love to see scale stuff fly! -Paul(K)

Joining NAR not only provides you with insurance, a subscription to Sport Rocketry magazine, and other benefits - it helps promote the hobby and educate kids. It's definitely worth the dollars. And, I definitely recommend joining and flying with a local rocketry club. Not only do you get access to a good place to fly, you get to see other's fly their rockets! :-) Welcome back! -- Roger |

AND if you become a Semroc SAM you get another 10% discount on top of the 10% NAR discount. Trust me, it makes explaining large rocket purchases to the wife a lot easier. http://www.semroc.com/store/scripts/SAM.asp

Although it's not really a scale model, the Custom Rocket Company SAM-X is a scale-ish representation of a Soviet surface-to-air missile and it's it's still available. It's a reletively easy two-stager.
Here's a fraction the SAM-X's I've built and my wife painted:

Scud SS-1C built from the original templates, Semroc BT-60 and a Sirius Rocketry NC. I never relaized how much of a pain the fin can was. It is worse than fairing an A-4. Prime and paint when I return in a few days. There is also a tabulation of votes for Semroc to kit this under the "Classics" table. So far there are 120 votes! Not sure how many are needed to win the nomination.
There is also the SAM-3 from Semroc; granted it is a clone of the Centuri "sorta wants to be a Guideline".

Actually, the Centuri/Semroc SAM-3 kit is based on the SA-3 Goa. The SA-2 Guideline appeared to be longer and with bigger fins on the upper stage.

Really nice build of the Scud. It's too bad that it was only available for 2 years. I am glad to hear that the NC is still obtainable. |

The cone is available now, I guess as long as people buy it and David has a viable mold then they can be purchased in plastic. I believe that there are a couple of balsa versions floating around too, but it is nice to have the rasied surface detail and painting trenches on the cone.

Oh! I think that's the same cone as the Estes D.A.R.T. I've often wondered if it was used on something else.
