- The local hobby store has F25s for about $8.50 which I think is about
- retail. I think you can do a bit better than that. If you are interested
- in a Phoenix try calling

- Walt Meeks (owner)
- Rocketman Hobbies
- 8839 N Knoxville
- Peoria, IL 61615
- (309) 691-3103

- He seems to have about the best prices around on rocket stuff and, the
- last time I ordered something from him, he gave me an extra 10% disc
- for being a NAR member. Plus, he charges no shipping.
-
- I don't know what kind of price he would have on the Phoenix. It retails
- for $189, but it seems like discounters are selling it for ~$139. This
- includes the reloadable motor casing which retails for ~$50. I believe
- that there is a version of the Phoenix which is also available without
- the reloadable motor casing, but don't know if Walt will know about it
- yet.
-
- If you want to call AeroTech for a catalog or more info on the
- Phoenix their number is (800) 752-8018. If you want more detailed
- info send me e-mail.
