My UpScaled Mars Snooper. I began Up-Scaling many of the old Estes Classics back in the early 70's. Once I became heavily involved in the hobby (attending conventions, writing an article or two for AmSpam, founding a club and a convention), I became well known (specially in the North East) for these big birds. They were quaintly labled "Glandular Conditions" and, for me, the name stuck. Enjoy!

	Maxi Mars Snooper on it's maiden flight at a Goddard Society launch. Note that she hasn't been painted yet.
	After paint, she looks much sharper on the pad (at a local Middle School launch for the Towns 4th of July celebration)
	Here she is showing her colors at Perl River ModRoc seminar
	And with another beautiful flight on a D12-3! Truly a crowd pleaser!
	Point of Information. After one flight caused some damage to the upper section, I was rebuilding it when I noticed that it is based on the BT-55, the same size as my Mini-Mars-Lander (featured in an old issue of AmSpam, and 9 months BEFORE Estes came out with it), and I got to thinking... So, I built another Mini-Mars Lander withOUT the landing gear and used THAT as the nose cone atop my Maxi-Mars Snooper. A perfect fit, in more ways than one!
