HARBESON, Delaware USA — TMRK is now accepting pre-orders for their 1/17.5 Super Sport Scale Juno 1 / Jupiter C kit. The list price of the kit will be $95 plus $6.75 shipping/insurance. All pre-orders received prior to 3/15/01 will receive a 10% discount off the list price, putting it at $85.50 plus shipping. All pre-orders received prior to 3/15/01 will ship on 3/15/01.
There are over 70 pieces to this kit. It includes a 36" nylon chute for the booster and an 18" nylon chute for the nose & satellite assembly (they separate and come down individually). The nose and satellite assembly is cradled, and comes down in a harness at an approximate 45-degree angle to protect the satellite assembly. The kit includes a 12-page instruction manual with loads of diagrams and drawings to help ease the assembly. It also has a full decal sheet and extra wrap template in case the first one doesn't turn out correctly. It's rated as a skill level 4, and is a modeling masterpiece to behold.
This kit comes with their exclusive Quick-Change Motor Mount system. This system allows the rocketeer to replace the "power house" to any of a number of configurations, as easily as swapping out a spent motor casing. It comes with your choice of either a cluster of four 24mm motors or a single 29mm motor mount. Additional configurations are available at a cost of $8.50 each.
All centering rings are made from aircraft plywood. The main body tubes are the extra heavy-duty LOC & AT tubing. The 29mm motor tube is PML's phenolic tubing. The 24mm motor tubes are their exclusive, heavy-duty, metallic-lined motor tubes.
After 3/15/01 the price will be set at $95.00.
