Default Wonder what the reaction will be?

Today as I was dropping the kids off at school, a piece of paper floated into my lap from above my sun visor. It was the receipt for a rocket that I won on Ebay last year, an Estes Firehawk, and I was about to throw it out when I noticed the note at the bottom. The guy who sold it asked for pictures if it ever flew.
Wonder what he'll think when he finds out that I clustered it?

Speaking of the Firehawk

I have the parts for one of these (original diecut fin stock, instructions,decals,and the front kit panel ).
no tube of nosecone, sorry.

have these along with a pile of other ' plans / fins / etc ' that I was going to post on ROL, which hasn;t happened.

guys here will appreciate the OOP stuff more anyways, so will get a list toggether sometime, and ppl can let me know.

if anyone wants the Firehawk pieces, drop me a note with either an offer - or trade :-) , always need more to build myself as well :-)

ps: and , yes, I did scan what I have, need to send in to someone :-) , not sure best way to zip the files, or send huge (slow even with roadrunner) ones. ?

Al,

Take a look at http://www.oldrocketplans.com and see if I have any of the plans you've scanned. If not, check at http://www.dars.org/jimz/rp00.htm and see if JimZ has them. If he doesn't have them either then you can send the plans to plans@oldrocketplans.com. If you think what you have is too big for attachments, let me know and I can set you up with your own ftp area on rocketshoppe.com. Thank you!
