I've launched it twice since I got it, and it's a fun flier, but some of the construction uses masking tape which is showing signs of age, and I'm wondering if there are other aspects of the construction that need some "refurbishing". Hoping a copy of the instructions might guide me in assessing the "innards".

I found an old thread from 2012 regarding it (https://www.oldrocketforum.com/show...8&page=1&pp=10), but haven't located a copy of the instructions or plans anywhere (it sounds like folks on the aforementioned thread may have exchanged some copies).

Anyone have a copy of the instrucitons for this kit that they can send me?

Hi DebZee,
I've sent a PM to Harsas who indicated in the thread you referenced that he had the instructions you are seeking. Harsas still is active on YORF, so, hopefully, he will see the request and can post the instructions for you if he still has them.

You definitely have a very rare, unique bird.

Kind regards,
Jeff Jenkins
