JUST IN CASE YOU MISSED OUT ON THE
ORIGINAL
ESTES MARS SNOOPER II FROM DECADES AGO........
........HERE'S ANOTHER CHANCE!
THIS IS
NewWay SPACE MODELS
MARS SNOOPER II
FLYING MODEL ROCKET
BEAUTIFULLY BUILT AND FINISHED FROM THE RECENTLY INTRODUCED AND CURRENTLY AVAILABLE
MADE IN USA
KIT.
WHILE ASSEMBLING THE ENGINE MOUNT I ATTACHED A LENGTH OF 100# BRAIDED KEVLAR CORD TO IT TO SERVE AS A HEAT PROOF SHOCK CORD LEADER.  THE KEVLAR DOES NOT EXTEND FORWARD OF THE BODY TUBE SO THERE'S NO DANGER OF "ZIPPERING".
THE (6) BALSA FINS HAVE MY USUAL TREATMENT OF 4 COATS OF SANDING SEALER AND ARE NEARLY GRAIN-FREE.  THE FINS AND 1/8" LAUNCH LUGS ARE FILLETTED WITH EPOXY RESIN.  AFTER FITTING OUT, ASSEMBLING, SANDING, AND SEALING THE MODEL I PAINTED IT WITH A COAT OF GRAY PRIMER, A COAT OF WHITE PRIMER,  AND THEN 2 COATS OF THE FINEST GLOSS APPLE RED ENAMEL.  AFTER APPLYING THE WATERSLIDE DECALS AND "SNUGGLING" THEM WITH SOLVASET I BRUSHED THE MODEL WITH (2) COATS OF ACRYLIC FLOOR POLISH TO PROTECT THE DECALS AND TO EVEN OUT THE FINISH.  I DIDN'T INSTALL THE 17" PARACHUTE INTO THE MODEL BUT IT IS OF COURSE INCLUDED.
THIS BEAUTIFUL MODEL HAS NEVER BEEN FLOWN, HAS NEVER BEEN OUTSIDE, HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED WITH, AND HAS BEEN HANDLED VERY LITTLE.
SPECIFICATIONS:  LENGTH 22.375", DIAMETER .976", FIN SPAN 6.75", WEIGHT 1.9 OZ., RECOVERY VIA 17" PARACHUTE, MAX. ALTITUDE 800 FEET.  RECOMMENDED ENGINES, B6-4, C6-5.
THE MODEL IN THE PHOTOS IS THE ACTUAL ITEM FOR SALE.
THE COMPACT DISK IN THE PHOTO IS FOR SIZE COMPARISON ONLY AND ISN'T INCLUDED IN THE SALE.  THE VERY LAME CARDBOARD CUTOUT OF THE PLANET MARS IS ALSO NOT INCLUDED.  sorry
NO ROCKET ENGINES OR IGNITERS ARE INCLUDED IN THE SALE.
THANK YOU!
