Anyone who used to follow my threads should know of my dubious history with gliders. All but one failed, usually in a spectacular manner. The exception was when I devoted 3 months to building a glider for a competion. My only goal was to get a qualified flight. I accidentally won, not because mine was a great performer but because all of the ones that stayed up longer than mine were blown away by the wind. This kit was know an a good glider in it day and it's for that reason I'm glad I never opened it to tarnish its reputation. It is still sealed and in new condition.

I am asking $100

This kit is offered for sale in an effort to liquidate my collection of kits and is being offered via cross postings on The Rocketry Forum and Ye Olde Rocket Forum. The price indicated is what I have determined by looking for evidence of similar sales but, admittedly, might reflect a poor judgement on my part. I'm just doing the best that I can. The price does NOT include shipping. Interested persons are invited to contact me via PM and I will calculate the shipping. Payment is expected by means of PayPal, Zelle or Venmo. My intention is to make shipments twice per week after confirming receipt of funds. I will try to give the most accurate descriptions I am able to provide and will happily answer any specific questions either by PM or within the post thread.

I'm trying to be fair and honor a "first come, first serve" precedence when dealing with inquiries. That invovles juggling messages I see while at work at the hospital coming from both TRF and YORF. That started out easy but got more complicated as there were more and more rockets listed. I made some mistakes and for that I am sorry.

I also don't mind holding rockets as you wait for more to become available. This does help with shipping costs and nobody has been more horrified than I over the current postal rates. That said, I am going to have to change one thing. I am only going to set aside "sold" rockets. I tried it the other way and a few times I was left in the lurch when others were interested in a rocket. That was only a mild annoyance. What I cannot tolerate is the mistakes that I made in selling something that had been promised. With my faulty memory and hectic schedule, the only way to prevent this when so many rockets are up for sale (with hundreds more to come) is to strictly segregate the sold stuff from the unsold stuff. A hold with an intent to buy now gets 24 hours, barring exigent circumstances, after that, it's back on the market.

I just bought one off Ebay last week, still sealed in plastic.
Less than $20 including shipping.
Might be starting out a bit too high.
I almost bought a pair for $40, but the guy wanted shipping too and I said Nah.
I'm not a cheap skate.
Just dirt poor.

Yes, this is a fairly common kit. I feel that a price of $25 is realistic. Not personally interested in this one as I already have a couple.
