Estes Recovery Wadding
Disposable Recovery Wadding
Neo Standard Model Rocket Kit
A great beginner's kit! Easy to build & fly - ideal for use in school & other group settings. The fin design makes attachment and alignment extra-easy! Designed with the beginner in mind, but it's also a fun sport flier for modelers of any experience level.
Features laser-cut balsa fins, plastic nose cone, quick-change engine hook & parachute recovery. Designed to fly on easy to find 18mm standard engines.
Good model to use to learn basic rocketry techniques - we think the "Neo" series of kits are perhaps our best all-around kits for the novice. Perfect for school or scout groups - economical bulk packaging 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.
Please note: Bulk pack kits may come with plastic or balsa nose cones, depending on our best availability at the time. If you have a preference please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate you if possible (price may be higher for balsa).
