Skill Level 2 - Previous Experience Suggested
The Apogee Aspire kit was designed with one purpose in
mind. To achieve the highest possible altitudes from 29mm
composite propellant motors. On the Apogee Components'
F10 motor, this rocket is capable of flying higher than 1 mile! It
can go even higher on 29mm G and H motors.
This is an easy to build kit, and can be further reinforced to
fly with high thrust motors. By doing so, it is also capable of
speeds exceeding Mach 1 on a G80 rocket motor. WOW!
While the model is easy and straight-forward to build, I recom-
mend that you read the entire set of instructions first. By doing
this, you'll be able to construct this model in a very fast and
efficient manner.
