Fliskits Space Raider Background










If you grew up in the early 1960s, you could find this "accident waiting to happen" in many city parks. This one looks like a climbing structure. Most playground rockets had a ladder to climb. You would pass through the rocket body to a slide on the other side.








I found out that George Gassaway posted this backyard play gym picture on Facebook.
This photo inspired Jim Flis (FlisKits) to draw up a smaller flying model rocket - a cardstock body, pattern sheet and instructions. 
The build starts tomorrow.

    I didn't grow up in the 60's (born in 1978) but I do remember playing on one of those rocket things as a kid at my nearby park. I loved it but eventually it was removed. Oh well.
