Launch System
Launch control sequence is maintained through
the use of an electron beam launch controller
and a stable launch pad. The Launch Pad
features:
• Large 24" square launch pad for stability.
• Steel blast deflector.
• Easy set-up and quick take-down for storage.
• Easy adjustment for wind directions up to
20 mph.
The Electron Beam Launch Controller requires
no assembly, has a 17-foot launch cable with
micro clips, a safety key and a compact, handheld
design. Four AA batteries required and
available separately.

Rocket Engines
All engines include complete operating instructions.
1. The first letter stands for the relative power of the engine. A “B” engine is twice as
powerful as an “A” while “C” is twice as powerful as a “B.”
2. The first number following the letter indicates the engine’s average thrust in newtons.
3. The number after the hyphen is the number of seconds between the end of thrusting
and the start of the ejection charge. This double charge occurs because the
engines fire in two directions—at launch and then in the opposite direction to eject
the streamer or parachute or to fire the second stage of the rocket.
For example: A C6-5 engine is the most powerful engine we sell. It has an average
thrust of 6 newtons and has a five-second delay before the ejection charge, or
second stage, is ignited.
Regular engine packs include three or four engines, igniters and igniter plugs. Our
economical Bulk Packs include 24 engines, igniters, igniter plugs and recovery wadding.

Paper Airplanes—Flinn
STEM Design Challenge™
By: The Flinn Staff
After learning the basics of paper
airplane design, teams are asked
to design a new toy paper airplane.
Can they design a long-distance,
load-carrying flyer? While staying
within a budget, teams decide which
materials to use and the best overall
design to meet the criteria. As weights
are added and materials change,
students will have to make design
alterations to ensure a long and stable flight. Whose design will win?
Complete for 30 students working in pairs. Tape measures are required and available
separately.

Altitude Finder
Ideal for gathering experimental performance
and altitude data. Simply follow the flight of
your rocket in the sights of this device. When
the trigger is released the maximum altitude
is locked in. The finder displays the rocket’s
height in meters and the elevation angle in
degrees. Upon returning to the laboratory the
measurements can be used to calcu late the
height of the rocket.
