Get ready for a showstopper on the launch pad! Elaine, designed by Andreas Firnau, is a single-stage, heavy-duty model rocket with the look and presence of a satellite launcher. Its bold, 950mm stature and impressive 90mm diameter payload section make it an eye-catcher at any club launch. The huge payload bay is perfect for carrying experimental gear, altimeters, or even your favorite mascot for a high-flying adventure. What really sets Elaine apart is its cluster of four Estes C6 engines - lighting up the pad with a thunderous roar and a cloud of white smoke that signals serious liftoff power. Built for intermediate to advanced rocketeers, Elaine offers robust construction with ample space for precise motor mounting and payload customization. The recovery system features a massive 24-inch parachute, ensuring a gentle touchdown and keeping those impressive proportions safe for the next flight. Whether you’re out to impress at a NAR launch, push your payload experiments, or just add a majestic centerpiece to your rocket fleet, Elaine delivers a truly memorable model rocketry experience. Build it, launch it, and watch the crowd gather - Elaine is ready to earn her place among the greats on your launch roster.
