The Dynamo is a great rocket for launching insects into the air. That makes it great for science fairs. It is the first and only rocket in the world that features an injection-molded see-through plastic payload bay! The rocket assembles in about twenty minutes thanks to its pre-decorated body tube, colorful plastic nose cone and fin unit. It is a great first rocket for kids of all ages!

The Dynamo rocket can fly with standard size rocket engines and is just as impressive in the sky as on the launch pad. It descends to the ground with a 18 inch diameter parachute.

The quality of the plastic parts, such as the injection molded fins and the blow molded nose cone is very impressive. About the only difference from USA made kits is that the engine mount is ever so slightly larger due to a small difference between the rocket motors flown by Chinese modelers versus the standard 18mm diameter motors flown here in the USA. But 18mm diameter motors work just fine in this kit; no modifications are needed.

One neat feature of the rocket is the convolutely wound paper body tubes. The tubes and rings of the Dynamo rocket are unique in that they are convolutely rolled, as opposed to the spiral-wound tubes that are in other rockets. Convolutely wound means a whole sheet of paper was rolled up to make a tube. It is a little bit stronger than a spiral wound tube because there are no seams along the length of the tube. The other advantage of this is that the pattern of the rocket can be printed right on the model! With this rocket, you'll get a multi-color pattern that looks great when sitting on your display shelf.

Recommended 18mm diameter rocket engine: Estes A8-3, B6-4, C6-5, Apogee Components D10-5, or Quest Aerospace A6-4

Requires a rocket launch pad, plus assembly supplies like glue and tape.
