Model Profile - Estes Jinx or Vampire?


At the January ROCK launch somebody had an Estes RTF Jinx rocket.
I remember seeing these for sale at WalMart a few years back. That Jinx design seemed familiar.


Go back to the 1974 Estes catalog to see the new "Firing Line" series of plastic models.
All three designs were molded in black, the stickers gave them some interest and contrast.
All you had to do was "Assemble the parachute and you are ready to fly!"

Go to the following page to see the Vampire starter kit. Check out the launcher, controller and blue engine casings.
