Another E2X Model In The Fleet….

The Super Shot model rocket was given to
me in by long-time Colorado Springs friend, Robert Antion.
The model was built in 1999, but never flown.
Once the Super Shot was in my possession, I performed my own preparations, including adding a fleet number decal, replacing the shock cord, and applying CA reinforcement to the end of the main body tube.

The model, despite being a beginner’s E2X model that I didn't even build myself, is nonetheless a welcome new addition to the fleet.
