BarracudaAeroTech BARRACUDA This rocket was an accident. It was suppose to be the body section to my scratch built SR-71. It was on sale at a great price. While I was searching for the other parts, I found some LOC tubes and I used them instead. I love kits that don't require wadding. This one has a baffle.

Alpha IIIEstes ALPHA III What can I say. It was my first rocket, so I had to buy it for my son for his first rocket. I belileve that mine was just an Alpha and I'm sure it had balsa fins. How I miss the days of slicing my fingers open while attempting to cut balsa fins out.

SR-71 Black BirdEstes SR-71 BLACK BIRD Another reliable bird. I have flown it until the shock cord separated from the body. The large wing surface allowed to to flutter to the ground. Glued it back in and it flys again. The only real problem with this rocket is that the body tube doesn't have much room for the chute. I have burned the center completely out of the chute and it's still more than enough.

X-Wing NCR X-WING Got to be one of my favorites now. I built it with LEDs and a 9v battery in the nose. Unfortunately it use to break the nose on landing. (It's a rear chut ejection) I added a shroud line near the nose and anchored it to the shockcord. Now it flys down like an X-Wing. No more nose breaking. There is a night video of a launch of this bird.

Sold at Space Camp. Not sure what it is.Unknown SPACE CAMP This rocket is another lost and found from BAYNAR. I don't know who made the kit, but it's from the space camp in the southbay. I have built a xenon flasher for it and installed it in the payload section. It runs of a single C-cell battery. I get about 1 flash per second and the single cell should last a long time. You just twist the nose cone to turn it on.

RazorCustom Rockets RAZOR Kevon liked the look of this rocket and I had had my eye on a Totally Tubular (Looks nearly identical) so, into the shopping cart it went.

SPECIFICATION:
Length: 12" (30.5cm) Dia: .976" (24.8mm) Wt: 1.6oz (44g)
Motors: 1/2A6-2, A8-3, A8-5, B4-4
Recovery: 12" plastic parachute

Hobby Labs SRT-71Hobby Labs SR-71 BLACK BIRD When I saw this rocket, it didn't matter that I couldn't fly Radio Control. I had to have it. So far I have had 4 flights with it and I have videos to prove it. $50 per flight is expensive, but as soon as I have it repaired, I plan to reduce that per flight cost. It came preassembled and is made from a plastic coated foam sheet.

SPECIFICATIONS:
Length: 37" Wing Span: 21" Wt: 12oz
Motors: E15-PW
Recoveery: Glider via 2ch Radio Control
Max Altitude: 600'
