My buddy had a CMR Mini-Manta that flew pretty well. I know I posted these pictures somewhere on the forum before the upper stage of my ELO egg lofter is in a couple of these pics but I don't see my Effy. I wish I still had ANY of these old model rockets from these pictures. These are some of what I was flying my junior year of high school around 1978.

I agree poking around you made a pretty worthwhile find there 5x7 unearthing your Deltie! Very cool


Great pictures, and nice models!

It’s funny about the Deltie, I was reading about it on Rocket Reviews, and at least one other person said they were prone to snap in front of the wing.
