The flight begins by the rocket by blasting off to incredible heights, thanks to its low-drag streamlined configuration. At apogee, when it is just a tiny speck in the sky, it flips outward its three canting fins; transforming it to a wildly whirling helicopter. It spins much faster than an Oklahoma tornado - it's Texas sized!
If you enjoy innovative rocket designs, you'll love this very unique configuration. The model features an innovative "slip-n-slide piston" arrangement that activates the canting fins. It is what allows it to morph from ballistic rocket to a gyrating helicopter. Plus it has a special molded polyurethane-resin hold-down ring which locks down the canting fins in launch configuration.It is probably one of the easiest rockets to prep for flight - just a few seconds. Just pop in a new motor, slide the hold-down ring over the canting fins, and blast off!
Recommended Rocket Engines: Estes 1/2A3-2T, A3-4T, or A10-3T
Requires a rocket launch pad and ignition controller, plus finishing supplies like glue and paint.
