Lightbulb Ok, forget the Parachutes...

In a parallel thread , I learned that the 'chutes from the 70's are subject to age related issues, and shouldn't be used for anything other than determining the valuable of an old kit (or ruining it if used for recovery).

I found this image in Earl's thread...

I still have some of those old red and black Estes Logo 'chutes (unused, but ventilated) , so I'll use one of them if it's still in good shape.

I can now see on this computer that there is only one white logo/cineroc decal w/the camera.

Still haven't managed to get a 100% answer for the question about one or two (if any) blue logo/cineroc/OMEGA decals included in the RC-8 combo offer. However, since I'm making my rocket based on the '74 catalog photo rocket, rather than a stock, I'm going to add... One, opposite the launch lug. ( Sorry for all the grief Gord.... I'll be back for more decals later...) I'll have a spare for any unfortunate situation in the future.


Still waiting for the Semroc shipment to arrive.

Launching is Optional... Landing? That Depends on Trees.
