WORLD WIDE WEB — Dr. Zooch has released their new Juno II, called NASA's most unsuccessful space booster. According to Dr. Zooch's Wes Oleszewski, only 4 out of 10 of the Juno launches were considered successes, so if you get more than 4 flights on your's, you'll be doing better than NASA. Oleszewski said, "the Juno II is an easy-to-build kit and very high flyer. It is another in our growing line of No-arc kits… meaning that during a C6-7’s seven second delay, the rocket does not arc over… it just keeps going up and up… to more than 1,300 feet at more than 330 feet per second!" The sleek FlameFins add extra realism to the look of the rocket and also serve, according to Oleszewski's news release, "to annoy the few people in rocketry who don’t like FlameFins." The kit, based on a T-55 tube, stands 16.5 inches tall with a fin span just over 2.8 inches and an empty weight of 1.59 oz. It uses 18mm engines and is flight tested on all Estes 18mm motors. Retail price is set at $19.95. Website: http://www.drzooch.com/
