The Firecat: A 'special' limited kit from Estes.  It was easy to build, but a really attractive design, and the red/white paint scheme works well.  This model uses 1/2A - C motors, special design features include fins that are winglets with dual rudders, and a tubular engine pod below, and a toothpick-sized antenna.  This kit used Estes Bandit decals to great effect. It's a shame this model was damaged in storage and the right fin & rudder are forever lost. Amazingly, the little toothpick antenna never broke off during flight, I was sure it was a goner.  I can imagine this would make a good upscale model, but would be tough to re-create the unique shape of the nosecone, since it has a diameter larger than the body tube it connects to. I will someday restore this model to its former glory and fly her as high as she can go. I might even want to make an upscale version of this.
