Quest Aerospace Planet Probe Model Rocket Kit

Description: Fun to fly and easy to build, the cone-shaped Planet Probe rocket is perfect for small flying areas. The Planet Probe features gentle tumble recovery. No recovery wadding is required, so the Planet Probe is easy and quickly prepared for flight. Some tips for building the Planet Probe: The shroud is pre-printed on one side, but is plain white on the other. As an alternative to using the pre-printed side, you can flip the shroud over and use the white side. The white side may be decorated, before or after assembly, with paint or markers. Gluing the cardstock internal fins to the motor mount tube can be challenging. To make it easier, lightly sand both the root edges of each fin and the places on the motor tube where the fins will be glued. Redraw the lines on the motor tube after sanding. Sanding the surfaces gives a slightly rougher finish which allows the glue to adhere better. Apply a light bead of glue along the line on motor tube. Stick the root edge of the fin to the glue. Pull the fin away and wait a few seconds. Then stick it back in place. Hold the fin in place for a while until it is steady before trying to glue the next fin. An alternative way to attach the fins to the motor tube is to use a thin bead of CA ("Super") glue. Be careful when aligning the fin and pressing it into the glue because the glue will grab instantly. Let the glue dry for an hour or two then apply a fillit of white or wood glue along each fin's edge as described in the kit's instructions.

Tools, glue, and paint (not included) are usually required to complete the kit. A motor, igniter, launch controller, and launch pad (not included) are required to fly the rocket. Adult supervision is required during the construction and flying of model rockets. Model rocket kits are often described in terms of their "Skill Level" - a number (usually 1 through 5) which represents the difficulty involved to construct, finish, a fly the kit. A Skill Level 1 kit requires little or no experience building model rockets while a Skill Level 5 kit requires much experience and special skills. In some cases, the Skill Level that we list for a kit will not be the same as the one given by the manufacturer. For the kits we sell, we use a normalized Skill Level using a scale of 1 to 5: Skill Level 1 (Beginner) kits are easy to build. They usually include pre-cut fins and simple-to-follow instructions and require no special skills to build or fly. Skill Level 2 (Experienced) kits are usually a little harder to build than Skill Level 1 kits. Sometimes they require that fins be cut from supplied stock. A Skill Level 2 kit may present new challenges to a beginner such as requiring shaping of fins or wings or flying on a larger motor. Skill Level 3 (Advanced) kits may include instructions which assume that the builder has experience building rockets and does not need as much explicit instruction. They often include features, such as paper shrouds, which require more skill to construct. Skill Level 4 and 5 (Expert) kits are designed for experienced modelers and present the greatest challenges. Skill Level 4/5 kits are often scale models which require the builder to craft details and carefully mask areas to be painted. You may also see kits with Skill Level 0 (zero). These are Ready-To-Fly (RTF), Easy-To-Assemble (E2X), and Almost-Ready-To-Fly (ARF) kits which require little or no assembly or finishing. Usually, you can take the kit out of the box and it's ready to prep for flight. Even if labelled "Ready-To-Fly," some RTF kits do require a minor amount of assembly, such as attaching a streamer or shock cord.
