All these rockets ascend
slowly. At apogee they flip over and glide
down slowly and safely using aerobrake recovery. There is no
complicated recovery system to fail. The fins are Basswood and the
Saucer Section is 110 lb Card Stock. Engine hooks are used on the 6"
&
7.25" flying saucers for positive engine retention. Engine hooks are
not used on the 10.25 inch and 12 inch flying saucers so that many
different motors can be used. The White flying saucers are bright white
for easy decorating and finishing. All other styles are preprinted with
all decals and decorations as shown in the photos, NO painting
or detailing is necessary, Custom colors are available upon request.
These kits are intended for the rocketeer looking for a new challenge
and something out of the ordinary. With their high visibility and slow
ascent and recovery, they are real crowd pleasers. NO long walks to
recover you rocket either,
even on a windy day.
