Estes Vogel - Out Now! (Screen cap from Estes website) |
I'm a sucker for two-stage rockets, and Estes is sending me a big one - bigger than any I've ever flown!
The Estes Vogel is a new Pro Series II rocket, and has just been released for general sale TODAY. If you click on my affiliate link here, you can get it for 10% off.
This is a new large kit from Estes, with 29mm motor tubes. You can stage it directly using E or F black powder engines from Estes. You can use the upper stage alone, and it makes a suitable Level 1 certification rocket using composite motors (although you can't do a 2-stage flight for certification).
You could also modify the rocket to stage using composite motors instead of black powder, but that would require the use of electronics to ignite the upper stage motor.
My Vogel should be here soon, and I can't wait to build it and fly it with my new Estes Pro Series Rail Launch Pad.
