Here's all the kit parts! Everything is pre-colored in yellow and blue.
Sub-assemblies are in their own parts bags.
That yellow nose cone is 6 5/8" long. The rocket with ring glider attached is 25.3" long, bigger than you would expect!
The Skill Level is "Beginner" but after forming the tube glider I'd rate it as "Intermediate".
Parts of interest, from the top going clockwise:
Printed card stock glider "tube"
Black launch lug strip
Four fins, two of each style
Plastic glider forward ring
Launch lug strip retainer tape
Name sticker
Upper left going clockwise:
Clear nose cone shoulder cap
One side of fin can
Screw on motor retainer ring
Other side of fin can
The 11" BT-55 body tube:
On some ARTF kits, the pre-colored 20 and 50 sized body tubes feel a bit thin. This tube is very robust.
I fly mine on B6-4s, the glider flew for almost a minute on a C.
ReplyDeleteHi 5x7,
DeleteThat's good to know! I'll probably launch first with B engines. Maybe try a C if the field is big enough.
