Related to school launches:

Bulk packs of A3-4T, A8-5, and B6-4.

Bulk pack a simple 13mm powered 3FNC or 4FNC BT-50 sized kit about 14" long. Include 9" chute because kids think chutes are cool. Make a note in the instructions how to use crepe paper streamers for small fields. Yes, Fred...I said crepe cause that's how most people know the material. Fins should be trapezoid shaped similar to a Nike to avoid snapping on landing if a streamer is used.

13mm is cheaper, but the Gnome is all that's offered in bulk. Kids want something bigger than an effin Gnome. I hate that kit.
