Yet again someone has presented me an opportunity to buy a piece of my childhood. Having just sold a motor, I felt it was justified.
This is a Performance Rocketry 5.5" Nike Smoke kit. (not Performance Honbies, Performance Rocketry. Curtis Turner's company before Proline/Rocketry Warehouse/Composite Warehouse).
What's unique about these kits is the single-piece molded carbon fiber fin can with scale fins. The nosecone also has scale features and the airframe is roll-wrapped cloth G10 fiberglass. It's insanely light! Planning on cutting it into a dual deploy setup and putting a 98mm mount in it.
