Features our usual top-quality components, outstanding instructions, and balsa wood nose cone. Tube "fins" and payload section come pre-colored red (or change the color if you want!). Large payload section makes running simple experiments a breeze.
Great for schools, scout groups, club building sessions, etc. Discounted bulk packing 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).
