Mr. Sam Cancilla, on whose "Sam's Toy Box" web site I found photographs of the Logix (and also Science Fair) Aeronautical Lab Kits (see: http://www.samstoybox.com/toys/Aeronautic.html ), has kindly scanned the decals and printed balsa fin sheets of the "Solid Fuel Model Rockets" (as they are called in the Aeronautical Lab Kit manual) and sent me links to his scans (which are included below). As he told me:

"I was able to scan the decals from one of the two sets--both sets of decals are the same though laid out differently on the two decal sheets. The sheet I scanned is about 9 x 16 inches which is too big for my scanner so I did it with two scans:

http://www.samstoybox.com/toypics/logixdecals2.jpg
http://www.samstoybox.com/toypics/logixinstructions.jpg

"These are both nearly 2MB files. Hopefully these can be printed on letter size paper and pieced together to get the one decal that is split across both sheets. The third image is of the first instruction page for the solid engine rocket showing that you use decals #5 and #6 on the rocket tube. The only other decals used on this rocket are #3-#4 used to attach the parachute shock cords and #8, the CG label." Also, below are his scans of the rockets' printed balsa fin sheets. As Mr. Cancilla described them:

"I hadn't gone to the rocket forum before sending you the links to the decal scans. It appears I might be able to help more:"

"These are scans of the actual balsa wood strip which includes the fins for the propellant rocket, part PR01 at the top of the first scan. The second scan is the other end of the balsa strip and shows that it is 1/16" thick. Note that these files are huge, about 3MB as I laid graph paper over the items to make it easier to scale things. Cheers,

Sam" In addition:

**MANY THANKS** to Sam Cancilla for enabling us to preserve the plans for this rare Canadian model rocket! These will enable avid rocket kit cloners to reproduce this rocket using current parts and reproduction decals, which could be printed (as the original decals were) on self-adhesive label paper.
