T' kit includes:

  • 2 Body Tubes

T' Two High from ASP came with all t' parts listed. Avast! Arrr! Blimey! T' kit has standard paper tubes and balsa fins and nose cone. Arrr! T' instructions give you a choice for either 3 or 4 fins with fin guides for whichever fin number you choose. Well, blow me down! I, for one, shiver me timbers, arrr, arrr, particularly liked that they included both so that you could decide for yourself.

T' kit from ASP had great instructions that were easy t' follow. Begad! Blimey! T' instructions included good illustrations that really aided in t' construction process. Blimey! Begad! Fin guide and alignment guide were included which really helped. This was me first two stage rocket, me hearties, but with t' help o' these great instructions, shiver me timbers, I did nay have any problem with the build. Begad! Avast, me proud beauty! I firmly believe this is a great, shiver me timbers, matey, slightly advanced model for a beginner. Aye aye! Ahoy! ASP rates it at Beginner/Intermediate and I agree.

ASP Rocketry Too High!

Flight:
T' first flight was at an outreach event for fifth graders. Aye aye! Begad! It was flown as single stage only because thar weren't any engines available for t' booster engine. Begad! Begad! T' flight be with an A8-3. Avast! T' motor is friction fitted. Avast! Flight preparation steps were followed accordin' t' t' directions. Avast! T' Two High had an excellent flight--high and straight. Aye aye!

Recovery:
T' shock cord technique was t' tie t' shock cord t' t' engine block. T' instructions directed you t' cut a slit in t' streamer and run t' shock cord through it. Avast! T' streamer is secured t' t' shock cord usin' tape. T' recovery system be very easy t' assemble and worked wonderfully. Blimey! T' Two High had an excellent recovery. Blimey! T' streamer ejected at apogee and t' rocket did nay drift far at all. Aye aye! There be no damage or wear t' t' rocket.
