Equinox - Klima

The Equinox is a beautiful flying rocket model, with a particularly attractive "split-fin" design. Depending on your preference, you can paint the base of the flaps one color and the tops other colors.

A particularity of this model is the presence of an ejection gas cooling and filtering system (deflector or "baffle") which protects the parachute without the need to use fireproof wadding or protective sheets.

The advantage is that protection is always guaranteed, while using the wadding it is always possible to put too little or insert it in such a way that the gases can escape and damage the parachute. In addition, the time needed to prepare for a new flight is extremely short.

The assembly of this model rocket is simple, even if it requires some familiarity with gluing and working with the wooden parts. The milled plywood fins are very solid and are inserted through the pre-drilled tube, ensuring perfect alignment.

The kit contains a large sheet of self-adhesive decals to decorate the entire model.

Recovery is guaranteed by the included plastic parachute, which must be assembled following the instructions printed directly on it.

For launching you need a launch pad with a 3 mm shaft, such as the Klima Launch Pad, the Estes Astron II Launch Pad or the Porta Pad II. For ignition you need an electric launch controller type Klima or Estes Astron II, and batteries. Launch pad and launch controller are not included.
