ASP Flying Model Rocket Kit Kappa 9M 24mm or Cluster 18mm
The Kappa 9M is a two - stage Japanese sounding rocket. The first Kappa 9M (K - 9M - 1) was flown on November 12, 1962. Impressive on display as well as in the air, this kit of the Kappa - 9M can be built in either of two ways: to fly on a cluster of three 18 mm engines or with a single 24mm D or E engine. This big (over 3 1/2 feet tall) model is always an attention-getter! This newly updated kit features laser-cut basswood fins, balsa nose cone and transition and waterslide decal. Instruction sheets are well illustrated and have been completely re-written.
