DynaStar Grappler

Product Description

Are you looking for a big rocket that you can launch from just about any small launch field? Then the DynaStar Grappler is the perfect rocket for your needs. This rocket is very big. It is 45 inches (114.3 cm) tall, and 2.6 inches (66mm) in diameter. You most certainly will impress the kiddies when you bring this model out to the range, because it is that big. They'll all come running up to you and ask when are you going to launch it; that is a guarantee! While this rocket is big, it is very light weight. It weighs just 10 ounces (283.5g) empty and well under a pound with an Estes D12-3 engine installed. The reason it is so light is that it is engineered to use thin-wall paper tubes and also uses a plastic nose cone that is also very light for its size. Even though this rocket is large, that doesn't mean it needs a big field. The rocket flies to about 300 feet on a D12-3 motor. This is a perfect altitude for small fields. Just think how impressive it will be, and how much you'll love being able to bring out a big rocket even on small field. From a modeler's standpoint, this is an easy rocket to build. And since all the parts are big, they are easy to handle, even if you are all thumbs. The Grappler uses the traditional construction techniques you are familiar with from building smaller model rockets. And the instructions are absolutely phenomenal; there are a lot of excellent illustrations that clarify the text.
