Summary

This is a flying rocket model built by an unknown manufacturer. The model is made mostly of balsa and pasteboard and has a plastic parachute. A solid propellant rocket motor propels the model, and then at the end of the vertical flight it forces the release of a parachute. The model is then retrieved and can be used again. The model is launched from a launch pad, with a hand-held launch controller being used to ignite the motor. G. Harry Stine, one of the American pioneers in the field of flying rocket and missile models, donated the model to the museum.
The model was donated in 1973 by G. Harry Stine, one of the American pioneers in the field of flying rocket and missile models.
