Big (over 2 1/2 feet tall!), easy to build model! Makes a great first or second rocket kit! Designed with the beginner in mind and as a model to help learn basic rocketry skills, this kit also a great sport flier for modelers of any experience level.
Features balsa fins (that you cut yourself, a good skill to learn!) and nose cone, payload section (big enough to hold many commercial electronics), quick change engine hook and bright parachute recovery. Designed to fly primarily on 24 mm engines, it can also fly on 18 mm engines with an adapter (not included).

Great model to learn basic rocketry construction. Perfect for school or scout groups - bulk packaging available.

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 "
