EVEREZTT, Washington USA — Rocket Vision is now selling a Starter Kit for mid-power rocketry. The kit contains a Trans-Pod Launch Pad, a Veri-Fire Solo Launch Controller, a 3' launch rod, four Flight-Star E15-7 motors, and two Rugged-Rockets of the buyer's choice. The price for the set is $174.95 - a 15% savings over buying the items separately. The Starter Kit is currently being featured on the home page of the company's web site: www.rocketvision.com.
Rocket Vision's Rugged-Rockets are renowned for their toughness and high performance. Their nonspiral phenolic airframes and G-10 fiberglass fins enable them to withstand high velocity launches and less-than-ideal recoveries. The Mach-Buster, Rocket Vision's most popular rocket, will break the sound barrier on an F or G motor. The other rocket choices for the Starter Kit include the Check-Six and Spit-Fire, both with payloads, the Solar-Venture, which has a phenolic ring fin supported by three fiberglass struts, and the Six-Pack, which has six phenolic tube fins. The Star-Fire, the sixth in the Rugged-Rocket line, is not included as an option for the Starter Kit because it is not recommended for flight on an E motor.
The unique design of the Trans-Pod enables it to function both as a launch pad and as a launch rod carrier. Two of the three PVC legs unscrew from the head unit then re-attach to the third leg, forming a carrier for rods of up to 6' in length. The Trans-Pod comes with a 12" diameter blast plate.
The Veri-Fire Solo is the only launch controller which can detect and report a short circuit. This 12-volt controller has recessed indicator lights and a side-mounted momentary firing switch with audible click feedback. It comes with an arming lock with two keys and a 30' igniter cord.
Rocket Vision products are available only through the company's website, and are not distributed to any hobby stores or dealers. Orders can be placed through the web site and paid for by credit card, check or money order, or via telephone or mail order. Rocket Vision is a division of Impulse Aerospace, which has been providing high quality products to the rocketry community since the release of the Quad-Pod Heavy Duty Launch Pad in 1994.
