Kit features

Huge 11 inch long, blow-molded plastic nose cone. This is a new nose manufactured for the DynaStar Mid-Power Model Rockets kits.

Colorful peel-and-stick decals that give the simple model an appearance of that of a futuristic business-jet for the rich-and-famous.

Precise die-cut balsa wood fins. They are extra thick, so your Orion can survive the harsh trip into orbit and then back again.

1/4" diameter launch lugs, so you can fly with the adults on the high-power pads, instead of with the kiddies and their tiny toys.

Uses inexpensive 24mm diameter rocket engines, like the C11. This makes it a big rocket that you can actually afford to fly again and again without going broke.

Colorful 32" Diameter Plastic Parachute with the DynaStar Mid-Power Rockets logo.

Large 8-page instruction booklet with crisp line-art illustrations. Reminds you of kits from the good-old-days, when the instructions taught you new building techniques.

Fin templates included, just in case you want to upscale this futuristic design to high-power rocketry sizes.

This is an awesome value! Compare against other futuristic designs, like the much smaller LOC Delta Strike Fighter kit, which retails at $37.95.
