Thanks for resurfacing this thread, Bill.
The Nova Payloader is again available, but only from AC Supply and eRockets. This newest edition is sold in bulk-pack form only but both AC and eRockets will sell it singly. There's just no header or face card. This newest version is catalog #1716 as a single kit and 1756 in a pack of 12. It has a different, slightly longer injection molded nose cone than all prior versions and the markings have reverted to a waterslide decal vs. the peel-n-sticks of all but the first version. The new waterslide is otherwise the same as the one redrawn with finer lines for the peel-n-stick markings.
The model I mentioned in post 16 (nine flights then) made it to 101.
I currently have two active Nova Payloaders besides the upscale pictured above in post 15. One was built as a backup for my Classic Model entry at NARAM-60. It currently has 59 flights on it. The other is built from the re-release and deviates from the standard color scheme in using Rusto Real Orange as the base color. This one is at 28 (last flown a week ago on Veteran's Day).
First picture is the Classic Model backup back when it was quite a bit fresher, modeling a replica Centuri LIA-77 that I got from a fellow on YORF. That's an AltimeterThree in the payload section.
Next is the current version, in orange, early in it's career. There is a FlightSketch Mini, inside a little fleece pouch, in the payload section. This model has since had a horrible snap-back episode, been treed, and repaired for at least one other reason, but is ready for it's 29th sortie when conditions allow.
The two lift-off pictures are the same model, flying on beta test Q-Jet C18s. In the last one it is lifting off of an FS-4 Electro-Launch.
(All of these pictures were taken at the park known as Sixty Acres that is the one rocket-friendly park in King County, Washington—when it's not full of soccer players.)
