Flying Model Rocket Kit - Vintage OOP Semroc 'Firefly'

Description: Flying Model Rocket Kit - Semroc Firefly A classic design updated. The kit displays typical Semroc quality throughout. A reliable gap-staged design using mini 13 mm BP motors from Estes.A great looking model and a great introduction to multi-staged rockets! "The Firefly was first released in a 1968 Centuri flyer as “the world’s smallest two-stage rocket.” It was designed around the new “Shorty” engines that were one inch shorter than standard engines. This allowed the Firefly to be several inches smaller than most of the two-stage rocket kits of the time. It incorporated the “Dual Lock” stage coupling for more reliable upper stage ignition. The Firefly was Centuri #KA-6 and was introduced with a price of $1.50. The Retro-Repro™ Firefly™ is updated by replacing the pre-marked fins with precision laser-cut fins. The original balsa nose cone and body tube sizes are used. The original nose weight has been replaced with a heavier version to improve stability. The original rubber shock cord is replaced with an elastic cord for longer life. The original method of attaching the shock cord has been replaced by a Kevlar® cord for greater reliability. “Shorty” engines are no longer available, so adapters are provided to convert mini-engines into “Shorty” engines."
