Celebrate 50 years of Soviet domination of the World!… okay… maybe not. So what if
the old Soviet Union mo longer exists, you can still commemorate  the rocket that
started the space race 50 years ago. That’s right, buy it NOW and build it in time to
launch it on October 4th, the same day that the R-7 booster launched into orbit Sputnik
1 exactly 50 years ago. This Dr. Zooch flying model rocket kit may look like a stripped
down version of our popular R-7 Luna because- that’s exactly what it is… because that’
s pretty much what Sputnik was- an early R-7 booster with a little satellite in its nose.
Later the R-7 was given a second stage and launched the Luna. See, it all works out.

Anyhow this model rocket stands 11" tall, has a fin-span of 5" and a basic empty weight
of 1.62 oz. It is a kit requiring full assembly. The kit contains everything you need
except building tools, paint and glue.It flies on a B or C engine that you must obtain
separately at a local hobby of craft store. The display stand seen in the pictures is not
included in the kit. Flight of over 800 feet can be obtained. It recovers by parachute and
may be flown time and again.
