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
engine 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.
needed. Achieve easier fin alignment and superior strength with the
thicker balsa fins and through-the-wall construction.
All these features add up to less time building and more time for your
students to perform experiments with their "eggstronauts".SKILL LEVEL: Intermediate LENGTH: 23.6 in. (59.9 cm) DIAMETER: 1.8 in. (46 mm) ESTIMATED WEIGHT: 3.5 oz. (99.2 g) RECOVERY: 18 in. (45.7 cm), Parachute PROJECTED MAX ALTITUDE: With Egg: 825 ft. on a D12-5, Without Egg: 1050 ft. on a D12-5 RECOMMENDED ENGINES: With Egg: C11-3, C11-5, D12-5, Without Egg: C11-5, D12-5, D12-7
