Default Spool Kit

For some unknown reason, I thought Squirrel Works needed a spool rocket in the catalog.




But spool rockets are pretty common.




It needs to be different.




Maybe it could be 2 stage.





Yeah, that's it.




Too Cool For Spool, coming soon.

The spool looks cool!

What motors does it use?
And about what altitude does the second stage go to?
Even with the 2 stages, seems like it could still be used for small field flights.

Thanks!

The spool uses D12-0's in both the booster and sustainer. I was a little busy trying to get photos and tracking the sections to get any kind of guesstimate on the altitude. It went higher than I thought it would but would still be great for small fields.
