7282 – TAZZ™

Advanced Skill

A re-imagining of an Estes classic! Based on the Estes Gyroc of
the 60s, the TAZZ is an awesome addition to any rocketeers
collection. Launch it up to 700 feet on a C6-3 engine and watch
as it spins back down to earth!

DESCRIPTION

A classic Estes kit re-imagined.

The specially designed engine mount has two molded tabs that hold
the wing elevators in the flat position during boost for nice
straight-up flights. Then at apogee, the ejection charge kicks
the engine mount out and “snap”, the two elevators move into the
full “up” position and TAZZ spins like crazy on the way down!

Slightly larger than the original “Gyroc” kit Estes produced in
the 1960’s, this updated model features laser cut balsa wings
with alignment tabs that fit into pre-cut slots in the body tube.
This makes aligning the wings much easier during assembly and
after the glue is dry, you also get a strong wing-to-tube glue
joint.

The clever molded plastic retainers make installing and replacing
the elevator actuator rubber bands very easy.

You can’t count the number of spins this rocket will make on the
way down, but you can count on it for lots of fun flights!
