Now there's a name I haven't heard since my RMR days. I bought a few things from him back in the late '90s.
I'll see what I can find. Quote:

I had gotten some of his springs he was sending out for free back in the 90's to allow you to make real shock absorbers on the Super Vega. I put the drawing for it up on the BARCLONE site a few years ago. http://barclone.rocketshoppe.com/tips/svspring.jpg

Hey all, finally got an ID here on YORF.... still have rockets on the brain but very little time to build, fly, or otherwise....
Glad to see the LJ1 kit still gets a mention. I still have the original hardcopy and sketches and hope to scan it to a higher quality PDF when I remember to. I saw on one of the other threads that the BT70 at 2.22 is shy of the scale 2.3 . Totally agree, I recall agonizing over that which is why I ended up doing the body wrap. It gives the body creases the LJ1 had while also marginally increasing the OD. I figure with glue and the two layers of 80# card stock it closes the gap to where it's probably only 1/32 off the ideal OD... Yitah |

Get in your Delorean, dial in the year 2018 and accelerate to 88 mph.
Estes begins selling this in a very nice kit. Bill

ESTES . . . Not any more https://estesrockets.com/collections/scale Actually, I am looking for him to see if he can post his original high-res drawings. Apparently, he is still flying with HUVARS, at least in 2022. http://cv41.org/newsletters/V22I3.pdf - PAGE 9 Dave F. Last edited by Ez2cDave : 08-19-2023 at 11:34 AM. |

I've got one of Yitah's original Little Joe I rockets - built - but it's a bit of a basket case at the moment after my dog got ahold of it a few years back.
I was going to rebuild it, but when Estes released theirs, I built that instead. If anyone wants an original Yitah LJI to restore, let me know - all I want is to get reimbursed for shipping. |

I have been in contact with Yitah Wu . . .
He was kind enough to share his original files with me and to grant me written permission to share them in the Public Domain ! QUOTE : Yitah, Many thanks . . . I will share them on YORF, along with your "permission statement".

Here are the instructions and plans. scanned from the original hardcopies and drawings. I added a scale to the 2 pages which were originally printed on 50# cardstock so you can double check the sizing if you print on a laser printer. Best regards, Yitah END QUOTE : Files below . . .
