What baffled me is how my "ebay deal" post prompted a discussion of another poster's quite personal (genital) surgical history, causing me to think I had misread the nature of the thread. And please no need to explain the connection.

It's a flying condom. All it lacked was Trojan decals.

Idiotic product from that "toy executive" malaise era.

I wouldn't call ANY price on an Estes "The Dude" a "Deal". More like a MIS-Deal at ANY price.

This eBay seller has listed a pretty big bunch of Top Flight nylon chutes of many various sizes for sale at what would seem to be some decent prices. Looks like some as small as 12” to 18”, 25” and on up to “45 and “50 sizes. And it appears there are multiple quantities on many of these. Shipping is free on some; very moderate charges on the others.

Link: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?ite...=goldhunter1001

Not my listing nor do I know the seller.

Several lots of old Estes built models for restoration. Must be 35-40 models total across the three lots.

back in the '60s
