Neo Mighty Model Rocket Kit
The newest addition to our "Neo" line of kits! Designed with the beginner in mind, especially if they are looking for a bit larger model to start with. The Neo Mighty features laser-cut balsa fins, balsa nose cone, clear payload section, quick-change engine hook & parachute recovery. Designed to fly on "Mighty" 24mm engines.
This is a great beginner's kit that's easy to build & fly. The fin design makes attachment and alignment extra-easy! Even though we had the beginner in mind when designing this rocket, it's also a fun sport flier for modelers of any experience level.
This is a good model to use to learn basic rocketry techniques - we think the "Neo" series of kits are our best all-around kits for the novice. A great model for school or scout groups, especially with older modelers wanting a little more power! Economical bulk packaging is available. For the discounted quantities of 6 or more the kits are provided in bulk form with a single set of instructions (which may be photocopied if desired for each modeler). Parts for the kits are provided in bulk packing which you then distribute to the modellers, some items (shock cords, shroud lines, etc.) may also require cutting to length - see the "Additional Instructions/Notes for Teachers/Group Leaders" link below for more details. Kits do not come individually bagged at the discounted bulk prices.
