DynaStar AeroDactyl TS Assembly Manual

Skill Level 3
Average Skills Needed
The AeroDactyl TS is a simple-to-build two-stage, payload
carrying rocket that was designed around the Estes 29mm diameter
rocket engines. These engines are low thrust, and therefore need
a low weight rocket for maximum speed performance. With these
motors, the rocket leaves a thick smoke trail as it zooms skyward.
The kit features a slotted body tube that allows the laser cut fins
to mount perfectly straight on the rocket. This allows the rocket to fly
straight and true. It also has a large payload bay, which can be used
to fly things like altimeters and other scientific payloads. You'll find
that it is a very versatile rocket because it can be used with a variety
of rocket motors. You can also fly the model as a single-stage vehi-
cle. With so many options it will never bore you.
