This is the first draft of my GOONYBIRDS page. Many say that these kits were the signal of the end of the 'Classic' age of serious model rocketry. There is no getting around the fact that these kits were designed for kids, and ESTES sure put a lot of push behind them when they were introduced. Good or Bad, they were the first step towards ESTES marketing model rockets as toys. | | 
Above is the original GOONYBIRD. It was mostly built up when I obtained it. I will finish it and fly it, stickers and all.
UPDATE: See Below
| Here is the completed Missile Toe |
|
| Yes, these are the original stickers!! |

| MISSLE TOE box |

The box is intact but pretty battered. At the time these rockets were offered, no shops in my area carried rockets. All of my orders came directly from Penrose CO, and I have never seen another original box. I will be displaying the box next to the finished rocket.
