Many of these pictures show him with someone else, but I have no idea who it is.

I wonder what size motor Carl used in the Hustler? Not a reload ..... looks like an EconoJet or single use.

I wish I could have made NARAM this year

Hey, Carl. You should consider selling those Semroc polo shirts. I'd bet a number of people, including myself, would buy one!

Snaquin inquired thusly:

That was my Hustler model built from the Just-the-parts kit prior to the release of the current kit. Their shipping service crushed the fin unit on their model, so I offered mine.
The motor was a Road Runner Rocketry F35-6 composite. It screamed!
After recovering the model, I asked Lee Piester if he would certify me as a "Centuri Rocketeer". It was a Centuri advertisment campaign from long ago.
Lee signed my model with, "Beautiful Bird, Lee". Should have pics in the new Launch magazine first or second issue.

Centuri Rocketeer since 1967.

Chas,

How did you like the RRR motors? Is anyone selling them yet other then factory direct?

I had only flown one previous to the Hustler flight. At the NARAM sports launch I flew a LOC Weasel on an F35-10. Seem like good motors, as a few were flown at the NSL. Still, I have only seen a small number of them flown.
Road Runner is trying to line up dealers. John Dyer of Red River Rocketry was selling them at NARAM, so a few were flown at on the sports range.

Ok, now I remember ..... Bob had posted a picture of Lee when he signed it in his NARAM-48 flights thread. That's where I first saw it! Beautiful finish on that one. I hope to start on my Hustler soon.

Must have been a memorable flight on that motor!

Wouldn't it be great to walk into your LHS and see a wall of these kits hanging in plain view? Sigh...


I hear ya Craig. I remember the hobby shop in Seaford Delaware, 1972. Walls with pegboards full of Centuri and Estes kits.

Chas

I rec'd the premier issue today and the Hustler pictures you mention are on pages 54 & 55
As Mark already mentioned, these are some of the bonus pages that were not in the premier issue that was distributed at NARAM-48
