Sky 07156 - East Wind
 

The East Wind was a semi scale rocket from the Chinese company, Sky, based upon a surface to air missile design. Like other rockets from Sky, it has some quirks that make it different from what most US rocket afficionados would expect. The body tube is not the simple spiral wound paper tubing. It has a distinct texture and is pre-finished with all of the markings. Not painting is needed. The diamters of everything are just a bit different so that any kitbashing would need some extra effort. I suspect, but do not know, that the plastic nose cone and fins are not the polystyrene most of us are used to. I have built several of their kits and they work well enough, but are different at the same time. This one has an 18mm mount and recovers with a parachute. It is new and unopened.

I am asking $10

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.
