Retro Scratch Builds

[JohnNGA]

Hi...
New to this forum, but been launching since 62. Pics of two scratch builds, My version of the Rock-a-Chute Mark 1, flies great on A3-4t. The other is a John Shutz/Vern Estes glider (1961). After getting the trim right it boosts and glides great. Also a clone of original Electro Launch.... John

Cool little rockets! :wink:

I scratch built one like your one in the second picture... 30'' tall and flies on C6-5s.

Also, Welcome, hope you post more too!

I enjoyed seeing those.

I'd sure appreciate your permission to copy the Rock-a-Chute into the gallery.

May I?
