WTB Roachwerks Little Joe II Kit
 
Probably a long shot. Title kinda says it, looking to purchase a Roachwerks Little Joe II kit. Thanks!

Uhhhh, yeah....
I think a LOT of us want to purchase one.
Gordon has not announced any future production of it.

Yes I know. Sometimes you get lucky. I'm currently building the Estes LJII, just looking for a larger version.

What scale was Gordie's LJII?

It was based on a BT101. So not sure of actual scale 1/38.5?? Just a little larger than the Estes/Centuri model.

I see on the Rocket Review of this kit, Chan states the 3rd flight had severe rodd-whip.
Would have really liked to see that flight.

Yes, that’s the scale.

I am trying to get all the parts together.

I have gathered most of the parts for ten kits.

The biggest issue I have is the capsule. I make all the parts by hand so it is a bit tedious. Hopefully by the end of summer.

BTW, I will only be selling them here on Ye Olde.

Don’t look for it on my web site...when I turn it back on.

My web site is off due to the intolerable USPS issues.
