The Estes Scout saved the hobby for me when my only flying field as a kid, became an industrial park. A great design where the motor shifted back with the ejection charge, caught by an extended hook. This took the Scout out of balance for a tumble recovery. Thanks for the video; small rockets are a great and inexpensive way to enjoy the hobby.

Small is great! Easy to prep, easy to fly. Featherweight all the way. And less costly. Many of us had an Estes Streak back in the day. Mylar was "high tech" material back then. Fun stuff. But yeah, too many of us succumbed to wanting that thing to go 2000 ft on a C6-7 so we lost most of them too.

Great video as always ! I had the Javelin and Super Flea, which could both fly on 1/4A to A size engines. Javelin was streamer recovery, and Super Flea was tumble. You could buy both kits in a set from Estes in 1975 for $1.95.

Love the small rockets! my first rocket was the estes mosquito. And don't forget the swift by estes! I now fly mini max rockets as well, in fact I'm working on a mini max 3d printed mars lander! You made another great vid, buddy! (love tha old sci fi rocket of yours!)

My definition of a small rocket would be BT-20 or smaller. Lately I have been having more fun with smaller rocket kits. The low cost and easy construction are nice attributes for those who don't have much of a budget. Your rockets bring back some boyhood memories for me. Actually your video just inspired me to make a clone of the Mini Cobra. Thanks for this upload.

I remember the mosquito. It went up and disappeared. I never saw it peak or come down.

I had the standard size Bomarc. Never got around to launching it however. The only rocket that I still have from way back when is the Streak. Couldn't remember the name until I saw this video. Lol Instead of the black and white paint I painted it all red. Made it easier to spot.

I have some of the same rockets. Two Apogee Centrix two stage and the mini V2. I still have them because I have yet to fly them. The Centrix II can go almost a mile high, so I made two. Good luck.

Would a streamer work for Alpha 3?

@rosswarren436 Жыл бұрын

That one is a bit heavy with the plastic fins and all. A 12" 'chute is probably the best option. You could cut a small "spill hole" at the top if you want it to come down a tad faster so It doesn't drift as far, plus the hole kills most of any lift generated by winds.

I personally think it could with a wide enough streamer made of a paper material and accordion folded. Worth a try.

I think I had a Mosquito and lost it. I recall the fins being like wide popsicle sticks. I doubt I even painted it. 🦟 When my kids were little, I bought a launcher kit with Micromax and 2 rockets. I may still have it in the basement. SR-71 and maybe the Saturn V included. The launch rod was a really hard piano wire.
