Description

IF YOU WANT ONE OF THESE BEAUTIES THIS WILL BE YOUR ONLY CHANCE TO GET ONE FROM ME.  I WILL NOT BE BUILDING ANOTHER ONE.
BASED ON A DESIGN BY G. HARRY STINE, THE "FATHER OF MODEL ROCKETRY" HIMSELF, THIS IS AN ESTES
ANTAR
FLYING MODEL ROCKET BEAUTIFULLY BUILT AND FINISHED FROM RECENTLY INTRODUCED AND CURRENTLY AVAILABLE, SKILL LEVEL 3, KIT NUMBER 7310.
THE ASSEMBLY WAS NOT TERRIBLY DIFFICULT, BUT TO FINISH THE MODEL TO RESEMBLE THE KIT'S INSTRUCTIONS AND BOX ART WAS VERY CHALLENGING.  WHILE ASSEMBLING THE ENGINE MOUNT I ATTACHED A LENGTH OF 100# BRAIDED KEVLAR CORD TO IT TO SERVE AS A HEAT PROOF SHOCK CORD LEADER.  THE KEVLAR DOES NOT EXTEND FORWARD OF THE BODY TUBE SO THERE'S NO DANGER OF "ZIPPERING".
I REPLACED THE KIT'S RUBBER SHOCK CORD WITH AN EXTRA LONG, ELASTIC FABRIC SHOCK CORD.
THE BALSA FINS, WINGS, AND RUDDER HAVE MY USUAL TREATMENT OF 4 COATS OF SANDING SEALER AND ARE NEARLY GRAIN-FREE.  THE FINS AND 1/8" LAUNCH LUGS ARE FILLETTED WITH EPOXY RESIN.  AFTER FITTING OUT, ASSEMBLING, SANDING, AND SEALING THE MODEL I PAINTED IT WITH A COAT OF GRAY PRIMER, A COAT OF WHITE PRIMER,  AND THEN 2 COATS OF THE FINEST GLOSS WHITE, GLOSS FOREST GREEN, AND METALLIC SILVER ENAMELS.  AFTER APPLYING THE WATERSLIDE DECALS AND "SNUGGLING" THEM WITH SOLVASET I BRUSHED THE MODEL WITH (2) COATS OF ACRYLIC FLOOR POLISH TO PROTECT THE DECALS AND TO EVEN OUT THE FINISH.  I DIDN'T INSTALL THE 18" PARACHUTE INTO THE MODEL BUT IT IS OF COURSE INCLUDED.
THIS BEAUTIFUL AND HISTORICALLY IMPORTANT MODEL HAS NEVER BEEN FLOWN, HAS NEVER BEEN OUTSIDE, HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED WITH, AND HAS BEEN HANDLED VERY LITTLE.
SPECIFICATIONS:  LENGTH 23.2", DIAMETER 1.64", RECOVERY VIA 18" PARACHUTE.  MAX. ALTITUDE 450 FEET.  RECOMMENDED ENGINES B6-2, B6-4, C-5.
THE MODEL IN THE PHOTOS IS THE ACTUAL ITEM FOR SALE.
THE COMPACT DISK IN THE PHOTO IS FOR SIZE COMPARISON ONLY AND ISN'T INCLUDED IN THE SALE.
NO ROCKET ENGINES OR IGNITERS ARE INCLUDED IN THE SALE.
THANK YOU!
