7301 – GREEN EGGS

Intermediate Skill

Test payload theories while creating an ‘egg-static’ rocket
launching experience. This Egg lofting rocket is designed for C11
and D engines.

DESCRIPTION

An Egg lofting rocket designed for Estes C11 and D engines.
Carrying a regular size raw egg as a payload comes very close to
exceeding max lift capability of most C6 engines used in other
eggloft kits. Use a C11 engines and you get a safe stable flight
and a recovery suited for small sized flying fields.

Clear payload is big enough to carry TWO eggs! (with a D12-3
engine). Swept fins allow the rocket to stand by itself. The main
body tube and clear payload section are both the same diameter
allowing a standard launch lug to be glued into place with no
awkward stand-off needed. Through the wall thick balsa fins for
easier alignment and super strength.

All these features add up to less time building and more time for
your students to perform experiments with their “eggstronauts”.
