Default Looky What I found!!! Part 2

The next pictures are the ones from the early 70's

My Estes Mars Lander


My Estes CamRoc with 2 of the little circular B/W pictures from the camera. The aerial is over Portage Park and Central Av. on the N/W side of Chicago.




Lastly is the upper stage of my Estes Omega. I can't remember what that launcher is but I remember that the batteries were in the base. (I think)

Love the nastolgia! Great pics also.

Your pad is a Cox launch pad, and yeah it held 'D' batteries inside the pad for juice.

Great pictures and Great work on those rockets!

I wish I had thought way back then to document my builds or at least take a picture or two of my rockets...
