Rocketarium Super Chief II Multi-Stage Rocket
This US sounding rocket combined the Talos booster and Castor sustain-er to reach altitudes up to 190 miles. The rocket was a scientific vehicle used to gather data on daytime air glow from high altitude.
This sport-scale model of the Super Chief II also has two stages. It stages a D motor to a B or C motor. The model rocket kit includes wrap-around bands, hatches, and decals to give it the right level of detail. Buy and build the Super Chief II for NAR sport-scale competition, or for super fun, two-stage, flights.
