7292 – TERRA GLM

Beginner Skill
(Formerly Easy to Assemble)
It’s not real, but it certainly looks like it could be! The Terra
GLM represents the possible future of military ground launch
vehicles. This easy-to-assemble model comes with parts
pre-finished in a military color scheme – no sanding or painting
required! Build and fly this model in the same day.

DESCRIPTION

The future of long-range air defense is the Terra GLM. This
hypothetical ground launch missile is designed around the latest
rocketry and armament technology. Highlights include a next
generation ramjet engine with a variable intake scoop for
hypersonic flight, lightweight and efficient fuel cell technology
to power all electronic and electrical components, and a split
fin design with an upper stabilizing section and lower flight
control surfaces. The ordinance segment of this mock missile can
be adapted for a range of payloads, dependent on the mission and
the target.

While the full-scale Terra GLM may not be real (yet!) the Estes
GLM model rocket is ready to be flown today! This scale-like
model missile is loaded with great features that set it apart.
The kit is assembled with several pre-finished plastic parts –
ramjet style nosecone, mid-body tube joiner, detailed fins with
simulated (non-functional) steering surfaces, and engine mount
components – all molded in military olive drab. The body tubes
also come pre-finished in military colors, so no painting is
required. The realistic details don’t end there! The Terra GLM
includes a sheet of peel-and-stick decals that push the look of
this model to the next level. Simulated access panels, rivet
points, roll pattern markings, and military-style stenciling all
contribute to the authentic look of the finished model rocket.

The Terra GLM is no slouch when launch day comes around, either!
This sleek and attractive model can easily reach 875 feet on an
Estes C6-5 engine. Launching from a smaller field? No problem –
just use the recommended Estes B4-4 or B6-4 engines for a more
modest peak attitude. Engines are held in place with a
quick-release engine hook and can quickly and easily be replaced
between flights. Keep your eyes peeled for the classic orange, 12
inch parachute when it deploys at ejection. You’ll have your
Terra GLM back in no time, ready to launch and defend the skies
once more!
