Vashon Valkyrie II Build, Part 6, My Original Vashon Launcher



I honestly don't know how I still have this.
This is my original Vashon Starter Set launcher base. It's been stored for years. The other rocket parts are nowhere to be found.








The two pieces simply interlock.  The fit is tight.A launch rod is pushed into the center hole.

No blast deflector was needed, the Freon propellant (really just a compressed gas) is self refrigerant. Freon was used in air conditioners and aerosol propellant for years. It was responsible for some depletion of the Ozone layer and was outlawed. That was one reason these models were discontinued.
The Vashon name for their Freon was RP-100.
