Boost Glider ("BG") Model Rocket Kit for 18mm Engines. Laser-cut balsa parts. The model soars upward under rocket power then the pod separates to come down on a streamer while the glider section decends to the ground to fly again!
Reproduction of a late 1960s competition-style BG kit from Centuri, this model is a good introduction to comp gliders or can be flown just for fun!
