Hey JumpJet, any way this can be added to the wish list?


I have a sealed Estes Citation Quasar MK-1 which I won at the NARAM-50 auction for $80.

I built an original Citation Quasar back in 1973. Flew it several times.
Thanks to Gordy who made a Quasar wraparound I was able to clone the later white plastic Quasar.

You should build one of the unsealed starter kits, and bring the whole set to the WOOSH vintage rocket launch, 8/4. It'd be cool to see in action.

Yeah... It looks like Estes made it from Spare Parts (that were filling) Every Void.

Some kind of "Elimination Vehicle".

Yes, fellas I know what SPEV means.

Yeah, he is a bit of a dreamer sometimes...

Actually, I find it a bit intriguing, but then I like oddball stuff. I might outbid you by 50 cents or so...
