The SHX Stiletto probably. Maybe the SHX Leatherman...Oh I know! The SHX Mr. Fusion...

Sweet! Does this mean the SHX-3 Stiletto might see the light of day as a production kit?

Is that a 2-part plastic Nike-Smoke nose on the prototype? Not sure how I feel about that.

I'm disappointed to see everyone in 21st Century civilian clothing. Employees of a model rocket company should be required to wear either white lab coats with slide rule scabbards or futuristic silvery jumpsuits with capes and fins on the shoulder.

Bob,

Thanks for the great tour! Looking forward to your Piester report.

Doug,

The Stiletto looks great with the Nike nosecone!

What's the story behind the Bomarc over Bill's left shoulder?

Not for now, the SHX-3 is a different model based on the real X-3. The SHX Stiletto is just a neat design, marginally based on the F-104, yet different.

It's a three piece Nike-Smoke cone! You forgot the little tip...

Or Space:1999 outfits. (look close...)




I just got my new special box top offer Star Trek movie shirt today. Gold command of course...but it's short sleeve. It will look good over black mock turtleneck.

I had left my leather biker jacket at home...

I tried the Astro-1 and the Black Widow fins, but I am STILL unstable.

It's an Estes Pro Series Jayhawk, I believe. Looks like mine!

wow, that's the first picture I've seen of him where he kinda looks like his dad!
