This is a modified out-of-production Estes kit. I fiberglassed the body tube and balsa fins with one layer of 2 oz. fiberglass cloth, and put in a 24mm motor mount instead of the 18mm. I used carbon fiber tubes instead of the wooden dowels for the legs.
Dia: 2.6"; Length: 28"; Wt: 7.8 oz ; Motor (1): 24mm (stock 18mm)
Recommended motor: D12-3, F24-7W
Status: Active.
