Enerjet by Aerotech, Arreauxbee-Hi, Part 1, Background


From CSRocketry kit description: 
"The Arreauxbee-Hi kit pays homage to the beginnings of the model rocketry hobby by recalling the first mass-produced model rocket kit, the Aerobee-Hi. Manufactured in 1958 by Model Missiles, Inc., the Aerobee-Hi model brought the hobby industry into the space age." 

In an Apogee video, Tim VanMilligan pointed out that the "Arreauxbee" spelling probably refers to the Aerotech Arreaux kit. 

Designed by Bob Sanford, who also developed the Aerotech Initiator. 


The new box uses quotes from the original Model Missiles kit box from 1958:
Scientific
Easy To Build
Beautiful To Fly
