The Bat yeargg!!!!
 
The BAT on ebay

Yikes!!! this is one kit I think many desperately want to clone, but I don't know when we'll be able to get the plans with prices like this.

That just seems fishy to me.... I mean $160+ for this lil' thing? Don't get me wrong, I like this rocket a lot, but what is the deal here? Is the engine hook gold plated?

Heh, I was watching you bid on this. If your bid was going much higher I was going to ask you what you were smoking. ;)

I have an opened kit of The Bat. Kurt Schachner has it since he wanted to scan it in for me. That was a year or two ago. :D I'll give him a nudge, nudge, wink, wink to see if I can get my kit back along with the scans.

That is good to know, now I can put my money to better use.

Seems outrageous to me for a typical 3FNC rocket that isn't even very interesting.
The only unique thing about this rocket was the fin shape.
I can right now buy an UNOPENED K-29 Saturn 1B for only $35.00 over this price.
Which seems like the better deal ????

When I saw this auction & the price, I just had to chuckle.

And I hope I'm not spoiling folks here ---

I think it was on the oldrockets forum over at Yahoo- someone said they didn't like this kit because the bat on the fin decal was obscenely flashing his groin...

Now, I just don't think I can ever look at this kit again without some goofy grin on my face...

:D :o :eek: ;)

BTW: I think it's time to update my signature starting with rule #1 to see if I can help out all my fellow poor slobs who have daughters...

Also, when you say "The Bat yeargg!!!!", could it be you're making an off-hand, veiled, but most appropriate reference to the exquisite, jump-the-shark, election screech of the current chairman of the DNC?

Or am I merely projecting?

Just curious , mind you. ;)

Pretty cheesy, quoting your own post!

However, for those of you who're biting their fingernails with anticipation, I didn't see it on oldrockets. It was posted by rocketflite over at TRF.

There, I feel much better.

It's got a neato decal too. ;)
