About the Goblin
The original Goblin was released in an advertising cover in Model Rocket News Volume 10, Number 2 in 1970 as a free kit. The Goblin was designed by Wayne Kellner at Estes Industries as an entry level model to use the new D-power engines. It became a highly popular kit and was released in the 1972 catalog as the Astron Goblin as Catalog Number 702-K-55 and sold for $2.50.The Semroc Retro-Repro Goblin is designed to be a faithful rendition of the original. The die-cut fins are re-placed with more accurate laser-cut fins. It uses a replica of the original balsa nose cone. The long 90? wide streamer is kept. The original rubber shock cord is re-placed with an elastic cord for longer life along with a Kevlar cord for greater reliability. An EM-2050 D-converter that was optional with the original Goblin is included as a standard part with this kit.
