SALEM, Oregon USA — Binder Design is proud to announce the release of their newest rocket kit, the Devastator.  This kit was designed by fellow high power rocketeer Bret Simpkins, who is also a real life nuclear rocket scientist.  The Devastator is a military inspired design and resembles a cruise missile.  With the US Air Force decals and radiation warning logos on the wings it looks like the real deal.

Owner of Binder Design, Mike Fisher has been working with Bret Simpkins on several new exciting designs.  According to Mike, "This new kit fits the Binder Design line up beautifully, and I'm very glad that Bret has decided to work with us on future designs".  Mike adds, "Bret's designs are very detailed and sometimes so complex that it is a challenge to get them developed for mass production, but when I saw the Devastator design I knew I had to bring it to market".

The Devastator is the fourth in the series of Fisher Premium Kits for Binder Design and comes with some impressive upgrades like machined motor retention, expanded premium decal package, premium parachute with swivel, pre-slotted airframe, and modular fin can assembly which allows the removal of the fin section to access internal fillets during the build.

Do you know how high it will fly on an I or large H?

Approximately 1,200' on a high thrust H, 2,300' on an average I. Thereabouts.

Thanks,
Mike

Mike, the final product looks fantastic. You did a great job with the decals and paint scheme. Can't wait to build and fly one.

Thank you. Glad that you like it. We're working on an alternate paint scheme and decal package that is more retro 50's, 60's Air Force. As soon as that is done I'll get some pics up and you can take your choice of which decal package you want with your kit.

Thanks for coming up with such a great design!

Thanks Mike,
I received my Devastator kit yesterday. It looks great. I wish all HPR vendors packaged their products like you do, it's a nice touch that sets you apart from the competition. It will be a great joy to build from a kit for a change. I usually scratch build and rarely purchase kits. It's nice to just dive in an build, as opposed to figuring out what I need, ordering all the materials and then having to mark, measure, cut, fabricate, etc.

Work has really been keeping me busy for the last 2 years and I finally have found some free time. I'm looking forward to this build. I hope to have the Devastator ready to fly by mid-March.

Best regards,
Bret
