Manufacturer:Estes

Stock build o' a late '80s Ram Jet.  Recently refurbished and put back in flight rotation.  I'm plannin' on buildin' a 2X (BT80) sized upscale soon, possibly a 3X (4") t' follow.

Recent flight on 10/5 popped a fin, but that's now (re)repaired.  Ram Jet is ready t' go once again.

UPDATE: winter o' 2015 saw significant reconditionin' o' this rocket.  Fins were removed, straightened, and epoxy filleted, everythin' heavily sanded, repainted, and new decals were applied.  Now metallic yellow t' match its 2X upscale that was built at t' same time.  First flight out o' dry dock be a drag race betwixt t' two.  Successful flights and recoveries without damage all around.
