​FREE ROCKET AIRFRAME STUFF:

Priority Stealth Saucer Airfame

For many years Art Applewhite has been designing very creative and easy to build rocket powered craft for model through high-power motors. The Priority Stealth© is one of his creations and is absolutely brilliant! It is about as low cost as you can get, easy to assemble, easy to fly and requires no special deployment techniques or equipment, not even a parachute! It is the perfect first flight vehicle for these small hybrids or even routine flying in tight fields! Begin by navigating to Art’s website:

​www.artapplewhite.com

followed by a “conditions of use” page and then the “free stuff” page. Download the 29 mm Priority Stealth template and the associated instructions. Next, download and read the Dexter Labs Quick Start Guide available from a separate link on this web site under the Publications tab to learn more about flying this craft.

Dexter Labs Superlight Scratch-build Airfame
​
This is a set of instructions for a high performance rocket you can build yourself that will allow you to fly these relatively heavy small hybrid motors to very respectable altitudes (1,000' to 3,000' or 305 to 915 m). This airframe is easily scalable and also modifiable for two-stage boosting, piston launching and dual deployment. Also, this rocket may be of interest to my international motor customers where high shipping costs make sending kits overseas less attractive.
​
The components are readily available from a number of sources; however, very high quality materials are available from Balsa Machining Services:
