 Category : Toys/GamesAerospace Speciality Products Aerobee 100 Junior Model Rocket KitPrice: USD54.95 The Aerobee 100, or Aerobee Junior, was first flown early in 1958. This vehicle was designed by Aerojet General to be an inexpensive rocket to fly payloads of 50 - 100 pounds up to 90 miles. Most of the 20 produced used a solid-fuel booster, but two were actually sea-launched as a single-stage rocket (which makes this model eligible for NAR Scale competition). Aerobee rockets have long been a favorite of scale modelers. ASP's kit is 1.89' in diameter and about 2 1/2 feet tall and features through-the-wall laser-cut plywood fins (with optional balsa laminations), big balsa nose cone, pre-rounded basswood conduits, steel cable shock cord mount and water slide decal. Makes a great intro to mid-power rocketry and flies fantastic (and high!) on 29mm F and G engines! A parachute is not included with this kit. We recommend an 18' or 24' nylon parachute. This kit has an accurate scale outline, but is also a fairly easy build. Other products from JonRocket.com |
