7300 – GHOST CHASER

Beginner Skill
(Formerly Easy to Assemble)

The translucent blue and silvery-white Ghost Chaser features a
transparent cargo section for lofting your favorite small
payloads to altitude. Reach up to 1100 feet on an Estes C6-5
engine. Start flying quickly with the no glue, snap-together
construction and cool custom sick-on decals.

DESCRIPTION

The hauntingly beautiful Ghost Chaser is a deceptively simple
rocket that packs in a lot of fantastic features. Designed as an
easy-to-build, snap-together, Beginner-Level kit, this model goes
together quickly and easily in the hands of even the newest
rocketeer. In no time you’ll have a finished Ghost Chaser
standing nearly two feet tall with its striking silvery white
main body tube and clear, five-inch payload section. A sleek
transition separates the two tubes, reducing the rocket body from
a standard 18mm BT20 to a svelte 13mm BT5. The blue translucent
fins almost seem to glow when the light hits them. Shine that
light through the semi-transparent engine mount, nosecone, and
the mid-body transition and watch them glow eerily in blue, too.

Since all Ghost Chaser components are pre-finished, there’s no
sanding or painting required. A clever system of slots, tabs and
clips (and a well knotted shock cord) holds this no-muss, no-fuss
model together without a drop of glue. Finish off this fanciful
flyer with the included sheet of cool, custom sick-on decals. The
Ghost Chaser looks great almost straight from the box. You’ll
have an amazing and functional flying model rocket in a flash!

Launching the Ghost Chaser is as straightforward as the build.
The threaded engine mount makes loading and changing engines a
breeze. The rocket flies on a range of Estes A through C engines,
so you have all the options you’ll need for multiple field sizes
and wind conditions. Look for a peak altitude of 1100 feet on an
Estes C6-5 engine. How will you use the tall payload compartment
that tops this high-flyer? Will you conduct tests on the effects
of rapid acceleration on various objects? Or will you just
launch something cool skyward? However you use the cargo section,
be ready to track your Ghost Chaser back to ground level after
ejection and deployment of the 12 inch parachute. And the best
part? Recovery, reload and launch again!
