Mission Control: High Powered Paper Rocket Launcher

Details

Just in time for Independence Day! Build your own pneumatic launch station to send paper rockets soaring hundreds of feet!

The launch station uses an electric valve and pressurized air to launch rockets as high as you choose.

The Mission Control box contains a safety key switch, ARM indicator and launch button and provides wired control of the launch platform. This launch platform is built around your very own 12VDC powered air compressor with gauges and regulator for adjusting launch height.

Powered by plugging into a car's accessory (cig-lighter) port with a long cord for park or driveway launching!

The paper rockets are easy to make and nearly free if you use junk mail! Launch them many times, as a safe and cheap replacement for fireworks.

Paint and personalize your launch station with decals and you will be the envy of every park outing!

We promise you are going to love this gadget for years to come. This has been a hit at every outdoor event with children for the past 8 years. Don't miss out on this annual build. Class price is per rocket launcher, so one or several young build assistants are welcome to join a parent for this class.

Class will cover some basic wiring, soldering, pipe assembly, and mechanical assembly.

Price: $195
Class Size: 5 Rocket Launchers
Age Range: Any age with parent.
