Estes Great Goblin Kit | In 1972, Estes released the "Astron Goblin", a cartoonish looking rocket described as a "spooky kit that gets up and moves." The Great Goblin is an upscale version that is a mid-power monster. This new kit is based around a 3-inch diameter tube with an overall length of 33.5 inches. Because of its 29mm diameter motor mount, you can fly this gigantic gargoyle on motors ranging from an E to a G-size. Recovery is achieved with a large 24 inch diameter nylon parachute. Another rendition of the classic kit, and we have them now at the Apogee website. Get one today! |

I'm now actively seeking writers for articles to appear in this newsletter. And I want unique and cutting-edge articles because that is what you want to read, right? I realize this, so to get articles from outside writers that have the same level of quality, I'm going to have to pay a lot of cash to make it worth it for them. So I've come up with a compensation package where I'll pay up to $350 for good how-to articles. Are you a writer, and does that interest you? That is a lot of cash! Far more than you'll get by writing for other magazines. And with over 23,000 worldwide subscribers, if you write for the Peak-of-Flight Newsletter, you'll gain a lot of notoriety. Writing for the Peak-of-Flight Newsletter is a great way to show off your rocketry projects and your technical expertise, at the same time as helping out other rocketeers. Imagine how great you'll feel knowing that you made a difference to the hobby. If you're interested in writing, see the guidelines on our site. | |
