Sky Eagle Model Rocket Kit

Are you looking for an easy-to-build model for younger kids that has a plastic fin unit? The Sky Eagle is a perfect choice. Not only is it easy to assemble, it also is a terrific flyer. It effortlessly zooms to ultra high flights on inexpensive motors.

The Sky Eagle is a breeze to assemble thanks to the plastic fin unit. It goes together in about 20 minutes. However, this is not a shake-it-out-of-the-bag rocket. Assembly is required to attach each of the plastic fins to the base of the rocket. That means your child will experience a sense of accomplishment by actually building his/her own rocket that actually does fly high and fast. They will feel special by doing that, just like the adults with their complex rockets.

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.

One neat feature of the rocket is the convolutely wound paper body tubes. The tubes and rings of the Sky Eagle 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.
