Green Eggs™ Egglofter Kit (Estes)
This Egg lofting rocket from Estes is designed for 24mm engines and can be flown with or without an egg.
Clear payload is big enough to carry TWO eggs! (with a D12-3 engine). Swept fins allow the rocket to stand by itself. The main body tube and clear payload section are both the same diameter allowing a standard launch lug to be glued into place with no stand-off needed. Through the wall thick balsa fins make for easier alignment and strength.
Not exactly a competition-style kit, but in a pinch could be used as a "qualifier" model for C or D Eggloft in NAR competition.
