ASP Flying Model Rocket Kit RP-3 Micro ASP KRP3-MM
The RP-3 was an unguided experimental Polish rocket. Earlier versions of the RP series were used for diverse purposes such as wind studies and carrying "Rocket Mail". The RP-3 was first built in 1963 and stood over seven feet tall.
This Micro kit is designed to use the Quest™ Micro Maxx™ engines and is based on our "Minimum Diameter" T-MM body tubes.
