Looking for FOAM
 
I'm looking for some Estes foam rocket kits.
Specifically the PortaPotShot , Pop Fly and the (2) RediRocs.
I have a plethora of assorted kits for trading.

I thought it meant Farting On A Marsupial? Are these anything like cheesy foam? I tried it and it didn't taste anything like cheese.

Maybe something Marie Antoinette would like. She died today, October 16, 1793. "let them eat foam."

I will take a K-21/1221 original Gemini Titan, K-37/1237 Astron Scrambler, K-29/1229 Saturn 1B, or a K-57/1257 Astron Skydart for any of the kits you are looking for.

Just kidding.... :chuckle:
I don't have any of those kits you are looking for and can't figure out why anyone would WANT them either... :confused: :D

Space Shuttle orbiter was a fire starting disaster.

AirShow was fantastic. I wish they would bring that back as a kit and not a Launch Set.

ghrocketman 10-17-2011 12:51 PM

Fire-starters can be fun. Try a C6-7 in an original Centuri flying saucer or the Estes re-issue. :chuckle:

Chris, sorry for such short reply last nite. Im disabled w/ fibro myalgia & was quite tired at time. Id like to hear more about any offers. Its just that its really hard for me to fly anymore. I have over 100 built kits & dont need anymore (2 build) . I enjoy lookin for stuff I once had I let go, or other items of personal interest-which could leave the field wide open. I have SO MUCH stuff ! ! I am open to earlier kits from cox, semroc, and such. Parts too. Do you have any old estes Launch controllers (the old oval ones,etc) ? How about a NICE 71 E catalog. Or a Centuri kit-nothing super rare/valueable. I like the Estes "skill level" kits. I need a C Payloader II or similar ones. They dont have to be perfect. Maybe im missing something, as i think the foam kits are neat !, & all those idiotic replies you got were childish. I do have a sense of humor-but those were rediculus. Did you take it in jest or again, am i missing something? ! Thanx, & hear from you. Id like 2 help you if I can, think we can work something out. Throw somethin' at me. sincerely, dannymrmissile.

The RediRocs are for the grand-daughters (6 and 3.5).
I have both styles as well as one PopFly for them to fly repeatedly.
I was looking for a few for inevitable replacement spares.
I started them out with the Estes paratrooper air rocket when they were 2.

How about some MRC stuff? I may have a Sidewinder, Standard ARM or Flare Patriot something sitting around unopened.

I'm already a member of that club. Mike does some phenomenal things with really inexpensive materials and pretty big motors.

I've flown the AirShow at the last two club launches. It's a really neat rocket, and it got some oohs and aahs, even though Astron Mike was flying his super sized gliders.

I'm building a 24mm motor mount for the Air Show. The biggest recommended motor is a c6-3, but I'm thinking a C11-3, or a D12-3.
