Summary

This is a Model Products Super Star flying model rocket, built by model rocketry pioneer G. Harry Stine. The model has a pasteboard body, balsa fins, and a plastic streamer. A solid propellant rocket motor propels the model, and then at the end of the vertical flight it forces the release of the streamer. The model is then retrieved and can be used again. Mr. Stine won first place with this model in the Class 2 streamer duration competition at the July 1971 rocket meet in Columbus, Ohio. He donated it to the Museum.
