Hawks Hobby Super Cherokee-29

>>>> Only Visit store to see price Best Buy Do you want to get some practice building high-power rockets? Then the Super Cherokee 29 is right for you. With its beefy tubes and through-the-wall fin tabs, it is just one step away from being a high power kit. The 29mm motor mount means this stylish rocket can take all the mid-power motors. Its versatility makes it a great practice model if you are considering stepping up to high-power in the future.

Even with heavy-wall tubes, this rocket is still lightweight thanks to its low-density balsa nose cone, and basswood fins. Because of this, it has really good performance with any rocket engine you put into it. Even an F motor will put this baby over 1,200 feet into a clear blue sky. When you fly it, the only thing louder than the motor is the thunderous applause you'll get from your family and friends that witness the success of your launch.

The first thing you'll notice about this rocket is that it is an upscale of an old classic from Estes. The Cherokee-D was first introduced in 1971 and became an instant favorite because of its simple assembly and its large and colorful decals.

This new rendition is like the old Estes kit in that it is also very easy to build. In some ways it is easier, as this one has through-the-wall fin mounting, which makes it a snap to get fins that are perfectly aligned with the tube. The added benefit of this is that you'll get awesome flights that are straight-and-true.

This rocket also incorporates the latest in rocket technology, like laser-cut fins, rings, and Kevlar shock cord. And it includes an ejection charge baffle so that you don't need flame-proof recovery wadding to protect the parachute from the heat of the ejection charge.
