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]

I picked up a Constellation at t' Semroc booth at NARAM 50 this year. I had planned on pickin' up a couple o' Semroc

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. Ya scallywag! My first cut at one was a
large scratch built bird for a NARAM many years ago. Begad! 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. Well, blow me down! T' kit is ... [More]
