Sheri's Hot Rockets Little Joe II (Kit)

Review
I think t' Apollo Little Joe 2 is probably me favorite rocket o' all time. I am nay sure why but I liked t' appearance o' it back in t' late '60s when I purchased me first Estes kit durin' me high school days. I think it be t' Apollo capsule and launch escape system (LES) parked on top o' a ... [More]

Semroc Constellation (xKit) (Kit)

Review
Brief: I picked up a Constellation at t' Semroc booth at NARAM 50 this year. I had planned on pickin' up a couple o' Semroc kits while at NARAM but didn.t know for certain which ones I would buy. Arrr! Blimey! I didn.t even know they had released this old Estes kit until I noticed it hangin' in ... [More]

Scratch Disaster 17-B Valkyrie 2X (Scratch)

Review
Back in t' mid-70s I be lookin' for an interestin' D engine boost glider t' build. Durin' those years I be buildin' rockets constantly so new and unique projects were always on me agenda. I had read somethin' about a Bruce Blackistone design for a canard glider with a planform similar ... [More]

Review
Brief: Since Chan has done a second review o' one o' me reviews, I am givin' a second review o' t' Stinger (I didn't know he had already submitted one when I wrote mine up). A couple o' years ago I became interested in rockets that were built around t' MicroMaxx engines from Quest. It ... [More]

PD Rocketry Thor Agena-B (Kit)

Review
Brief: T' Thor Agena B by PD Rocketry is another kit by t' company that specializes in out-of-production Estes kits from the '60s and '70s. There is apparently a resurgence o' interest in these early kits from t' hobby and I have t' admit to bein' one o' these old rocketeers who has ... [More]

Peter Alway Astrobee 1500 (Kit)

Review
Brief: I have been a fan o' t' Astrobee 1500 for years. My first cut at one was a large scratch built bird for a NARAM many years ago. Blimey! That bird was about 40" tall and flew on a composite engine. So when I saw an actual kit of this vehicle I knew I had t' have it. T' kit is ... [More]
