Brief

At first glance the Semroc Saki appears to be an Estes Goonybird Cloud Hopper with different paint and decals, but comparing the two side by side tells a different story.  They share the same basic shape, but little else, as the Saki is not only larger than the BT-60 Estes bird, but also 18mm powered compared to the mini-engine Goony.  According to Estes Industries legend, the Saki is actually closer to the prototype of what the Goony fleet was supposed to look like, but in the end the less than politically correct designs were dumbed down and given a dose of cute.  (This from the company that brought you, and still brings you, the Red Max.)  Carl saw the drawings and got to work on a line-up of Groonies, a more adult oriented rocket in Goony form.
