Estes Gauchito Build #1279 OOP, Background

Here's another one of the X Prize kits, the Gauchito. This entry was from Pablo de Leon & Associates from Argentina. Gauchito means "Little Cowboy."

The package face card says "Little Joe II styling." It's actually got Mercury Little Joe I fins, the top end looks like the Apollo Little Joe II.


I remember this triangular bubble pack being sold at WalMart.

Flights to 300 feet! Mini engine powered with parachute recovery.

    Unfortunately the thumbnail pix on the de Leon website are dead links but it appears that one of the scale test vehicles had an escape tower - not that I’m suggesting that anyone needs more experience building fiddly little model rocket escape towers... https://www.pablodeleon.com/
