fiberglass nosecone with built in 38mm payload section! The
payload sesction can accommodate the ALTS2 or similar
altimiters. This is a very high performance rocket, capable of
reaching altitudes over 14,000 feet and Mach 1.4 with an
Aerotech K550W! Even higher altitudes and speeds can be obtained
using Kosdon or similar high performance motors. Optional MDR
unit is highly recommended if you plan on using motors larger
than a J.

The MDR system includes a 24″ fiberglass airframe with piston
ejection system, threaded airframe coupler with new machined
aluminum parts! so you can simply screw your airframes together,
8″ long fiberglass altimiter/LES holder and kevlar shock cord.

the extreme altitudes this rocket is capable of. Transonic II
