stefanj and ghrocketman,

Thanks for the compliments on my Super Sky Hook. I remember admiring the Sky Hook when I got my first Estes catalog, a 1964. I built Scouts and Streaks and WAC Corporals, a Drifter, an Aerbee 300 early on, but somehow never built a Sky Hook.

I’ve kind of been focused on nostalgia builds lately. I’ve built a Spaceman (from Semroc), a Super Astron Cobra (built a Ranger as a kid, never did build a Cobra). I built a 24mm booster for a Farside-X, and just recently bought a Semroc Farside-X kit rather than scratch building one to go with the new booster.

When I bought the Estes Panavia, I knew it had to get bashed into something else. After building a Semroc Sky Hook II (moderately upscale Sky Hook), I knew I needed a Super Sky Hook.

I also am completing a huge Super X-Ray a friend started in the 90s, and gave to me last year.

Oh yeah, I’m working on a BMS Mars Snooper as well. I’ve got a very bad case of nostalgia!
