Model Forum / General / Rockets / August 2005Old Cox models on ebay
Well, hold on to your hats if you want to see what some old Cox rockets are going for on ebay... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5994689565 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5994746203 Makes me wish I'd bought a truckload back when they were available... David Erbas-White david: yeah that Cox LJ2 was one of my fav models as I could stick an A in it and launch it in my backyard to maybe 100 ft as it was so heavy.... shockie B) > Well, hold on to your hats if you want to see what some old Cox rockets > are going for on ebay...

I also have an honest john and X-15 and the launch pad kit. I think I will be keepig them for a while. I am going to get a V and 1B ready to launch in the very near future though. I am sure nothing will go wrong :-) wrong wrong wrong wrong.  Signaturegcisko@hotmail.com What's the big deal with these? Why are they worth so much? Were they really any good?

Well you didn't have to build anything, they are solid plastic. Stick a motor or two in and go. So yes I think they are worth something. joe: I think what makes them collectors items today is the fact they were the first RTF model rockets. I can't remember completely, but I don't even think you had to make the parachute. Plus they were pre-assembled in this thick heavy pre-colored,pre-detailed plastic that was semi-impervious to the heat from ejection charges...No recovery wadding needed! MPC earlier had come out with the first e put-to-gether plastic model kits (Titan 3-C, Vostok,etc) that happened to include internal bodys tubes and such,required by model rockets. You could built it as a statisc display model only or build it as a model rocket. Later on Cox even offered some put-together versions of their Saturn Ib and Saturn5. shockie B) > What's the big deal with these? Why are they worth so much? Were they > really any good?

I did see an Estes RTF SR-71 and SS1 at wallyworld the other day. Like most RTF stuff, it looked heavy.
