Get it from eRockets:(new guy alert) I want one of these as a non-flyer next to my 4D Famemaster Saturn V. But where do you get the BT-19 tube? Semroc's site didn't seem to work and the next site down was from Australia!
(This is not complete sacrilege - I have the larger Estes Mercury Redstone kit that I'll be asking about as I start the build, and it will fly.)

Yeah, doctor wanted me to cut the carbs and lower my triglycerides. Was drinking 5 to 6 cans of soda per day. Subbed flavored seltzer water. Same fizz, same fruitiness, no sweetness and sugar.Kuririn, you drink Seltzer Water out of a can?
Done (mostly). The vinyl wrap really makes this pop.
Just need to do some touch up brush work (red on the aerospike and top of the tower, black on the ring at the tower base) and sharpie the black areas on the fin can.
Will give a flight report whenever I get to launch this baby.

I was there when they did it but cannot recall much other than remembering how cool it looked.A "blast from the past" . . . "Project Argosy", built by Greg Browning and Jim Tucci, in 1976 ( 5 Estes D12's and 2 FSI F7 "Steam Machines" in the Boosters ). The top section resembled a NERVA unit . . . Yes, it was "outside the legal limits", back then.
For the record, the flight was "unsuccessful", but spectacular !
