I was very much into model rocketry as a young guy in the late 70's. Then you could buy black powder rocket engines (Estes) with different thrusts and delay (for parachute deployment) for a variety of model rockets. Guess what? They are not available anymore...

Found this model in the attic when doing some cleaning.

Nostalgia...
