This kit features a hard balsa nose cone, balsa tailcone, quick-change engine hook and laser-cut fins!
The WAC Corporal was the United States first sounding rocket. Seventeen WAC and WAC B rockets were flown from 1945 to 1947. The WAC was launched with the aid of the Tiny Tim solid propellant booster.
