Well I was at a small hobby shop in down town Utica Michigan , there I found FSI Model Rockets for the first time. the shop owner sold me a FSI Penetrator and pack of E5-6 engines.
The next time Bill and I launched, well let me say this: the Penetrator was now the new SKY-HI
Champion, it flew past the Cherokee-D and just kept going WOW.
FSI has been one of my favorite Model Rocket Company's of all time.
I still have several Built Models and even some Engines. the last time I launched an FSI Rocket
it was a 2 Stage Star Gazer, I used FSI D20-0 to an FSI D20-6 both engines work perfect and the
rocket was tracked to 3800+ feet. both stages where recovered. Not bad for engines that where
20 years old at the time. Neal

Yes, I recently bought a pack of E6-4 FSI engines. Dated 1980. I miss that company. Loved those old BP engines, especially the end burners. Hardly any thrust, just a hissing sound as rockets slowly climbed up. But I like slow lift offs. Sad that it’s a thing of the past. I had all the large scale kits, in boxes. Built n flew mist. Those were fun but the BTs were flimsy. Bent too easily. Still,,, loved em......
