The Rascal™ & HiJinks™ Launch Set includes two fully assembled model rockets that are ready to fly right out of the box. There is no painting, gluing, or construction required, which allows educators to dedicate valuable instructional time to lesson objectives instead of build sessions.
Students can quickly move from classroom discussion to real world application as they prepare the rockets for launch. By observing stability, thrust, altitude, and parachute recovery in action, learners gain a clear understanding of core STEM principles through an unforgettable hands on experience.
Designed for Group Engagement
With two rockets included, this launch set is ideal for team based activities and collaborative learning. Divide students into groups to compare engine selections, predict flight performance, and analyze results after recovery. The side by side format encourages participation while keeping every learner engaged in the launch process.
Rascal and HiJinks can fly on recommended A8-3, B4-4, B6-4, C6-5, and C6-7 engines. With the optional engine adapter, sold separately, they can also use A10-3T engines. This range of engine options allows educators to scale altitude and performance to match lesson goals and field size.
Complete Launch System Included
The Rascal™ & HiJinks™ Launch Set includes the dependable Porta-Pad II Launch Pad and Electron Beam Launch Controller. The stable pad and 1/8 inch launch rod help ensure consistent, straight launches, while the controller provides a clear, simple ignition sequence that students can safely operate under supervision.
To launch, educators will need Estes engines, recovery wadding, starters, and AA batteries. Once those supplies are available, you have a complete, classroom ready model rocket launch experience.
Reliable Performance and Durable Design
Each rocket measures 14.5 inches in length, 0.98 inches in diameter, and weighs 1.5 ounces. Molded plastic fins provide added durability for repeated educational use, while the 12 inch parachute recovery system ensures controlled descents and easy retrieval for post flight discussion and data collection.
For educators seeking an engaging, standards aligned way to demonstrate aerospace and physics concepts, the Rascal™ & HiJinks™ Launch Set delivers immediate usability, high flying performance, and meaningful STEM impact in one complete package.
