I cloned the Lamprey and have a Satellite Drone that I still fly. I'm pretty sure I got all of the early kits that I want.

I thought a couple of the early kits were great, I built a Landviper and a Bullet when they came out, I may have done a review of the bullet in The club newsletter. Some of the other early ones have grown on me through time. Lately the SLV, Pong and Nomad are really cool.

Agreed it would be a very doable collection.

I have one of the older ones left from the sell off almost 3 years ago. Satellite Drone I think it is, one with the ring around the fins.
I've acquired several of the new kits in the last year include the 2 Stage Galaxy and Aztec. 2 Redliners, Orbit and Solar Explorer. I just added the Galileo tonight along with an Estes Star Dart off Ebay.
JonRocket had a sale going on and I ordered the Freestyle, Landviper, Serin and D powered Liberity.
Also the 13mm ASP D Region Tomahawk and Sandia Sandhawk. Already have the ISQY Tomahawk.
Couple I was interested in were already sold out, but there are other suppliers.
I have to dig through the file cabinet and find an old Custom Catalog to see which one's I'm interested in.
I know the Matra, Bullet and Serval for sure.
So if anyone has those that would be willing to part with for a reasonable price I would appreciate it.
These will get built and flown, these are not for collecting.
Unless I can get more than 1.

Hi Woody,


PM re the Custom Serval sent.

!!!!! I meant to mention in the PM that this is an older version of the kit.
It doesn’t have a face card - didn’t come with one as far as I remember.
It also has the 1-piece blow molded nose cone, not the 2-piece cone that
I’ve seen in later versions. !!!!!

I am not looking to add to my collection, but to build and fly them. Although if I can find more of one of something and the price is reasonable I would buy them for the collections I'm trying to rebuild to leave to my 2 son's. I may even do build threads since I'll be able to afford batteries for the camera again.
Also, Older Quest Kits like the presidential plane and lead ship and fighters.
I can't remember the exact names until I look them up, but you'al probably know which one's I mean.
Feel free to send me a message here, or an Email.
Thank You Kindly in advance for any help, besides Ebay.
I constantly search there, and I've lost out on many due to lacking funds at the time.
I have a back due disability coming the first of November, so funds won't be an issue.
At least for a short period of time.....


Check with Harold Sasloe, I sold him many Custom and Quest Rocket kits, He has some listed on Ebay. His Ebay Sellers name is: Harsas.

Neal, I've been in contact with Harold. I've made 2 purchases from already for a total of 6 kits. I'm sure I will be buying more from him.

Earl, I have not seen that yet. Thanks for the link!

Silence, If you mean arnoldo, I've got his stuff on my watch list. He's kind of high on shipping, and he's in about the price range I would expect to pay.

One more week to go before the $$$ comes. No one will hold wins or kits. So I gotta just cross my fingers and hope some are left by the time the $$$ comes.
