What You Need to Fly

In The Classroom

The Wizard is a unique rocket, being one of the few that has a minimalistic drag profile. The Wizard is a kit designed for intermediate builders with the intention of getting them high into the air to complete studies on altitude, drift distance, descent rates and other studies that lend themselves better to a long-duration flight.

The Wizard does require some sanding and use of adhesive. The Wizard also makes for a great entry point into competition-style duration rockets due to its light weight body and minimum diameter engine.

Bigger than back in the day?

I built one of these as a kid. I seem to remember it being smaller than 12"...more like 8". I didn't care for the streamer recovery system, so I deleted that and just glued the (balsa) nose cone in place. At apogee, the ejection charge would jettison the motor and the rocket would just come down like a lawn dart. Good times! It had a purple and white or blue and white (can't remember) paint scheme back then, without the huge nose cone. Fins were the same shape.

Did other kits come without motor mount clamps??? Just curious,

Did other kits come without motor mount clamps??? Just curious, ordered 2 boxes and there aren't any in either box. Have you fired them? If so, without a clamp for the motor? Hoe did they work?
