BMS School Rocket, Build, Finished


A sharp, well designed rocket for school programs looking for something other than a snap together build. Thru-the-wall fins, Kevlar shock cord and a Mylar streamer.

The instructions only suggest an A8-3 motor, but it would certainly be stable with a B6 or C6 engine. 




You might not get it back with the C6-5 motor.

Taller than an Estes Alpha, with the extra length it should be easier to pack the wadding and streamer.

  1. Since this is called a School Rocket, perhaps an appropriate base yellow would be what would be commonly known as "school bus yellow"?

    1. Hi Naoto,
      I just went with the yellow I had on hand. It still gives the school bus color vibe.
