This is one of four surviving rockets from Quino's rocket launcher guitar case. Director Robert Rodriguez has the the guitar case. This was not fired but used in the filming. The needed different shots of the rockets inside the case. The ones that were shot were thrown away and discarded. These were spare to actually fire without a wire attached. They were designed to fly in free flight. It only took two tries till they actually got the shot with this type rocket.
This rocket still has the live engine in it and can not be shipped by air. It can only be shipped ground.
There were a few other rockets that were made and failed to meet the flight requirements. I will list those as well.I just love the smile on his face.
