Description
The Socrates model rocket kit is a great first model for elementary school age kids, as it assembles without tools and with just wood glue or school glue. Through-the-wall balsa fins glue on straight and strong. Streamer recovery limits drift in the wind during recovery, which allows this model to be flown on a smaller field--which is great for successful recovery! It flies well on 1/2A through C 18mm motors, and its streamer recovery limits drift for easier recovery. An adult can assemble the kit in about 15 minutes, though a classroom of kids may take an hour.
