7.4 What other scale/sport scale kits are available? I'd like to build another kit or two before tackling a scratch scale project.
Many of the really great scale kits (Estes LTV Scout, Centuri
Little Joe II, Estes Saturn 5) have been long since or recently
discontinued. Fortunately, there are atill a FEW scale kits from which
a modeler may choose.
The following is a partial list of available scale and sport scale
rocket kits available as of December, 1996. A more complete list may be
found on the r.m.r. archive on sunsite.unc.edu. The archived list
includes non-flying, out-of-production and high power kits as well.
