Comrades:

I thought I'd dredge up this old thread to post a picture of my nephew's Viking for Cub Scouts against yesterday morning's clear, blue Texas sky. He did a great job. It's his third rocket. We used a decal from Gordy (Excelsior Decals) to give it a retro look.

We'd love to see some other Vikings, especially ones done like the old Akela-1. I don't know what some of you have experienced, but I note that all of the kids in his den opted for a five fin version.

Also, if anybody from Estes is reading this, you need to sell Bulk Pack A8-5s. It's the perfect engine for this rocket.
