The Rising Star rocket kit from DynaStar Mid-Power Rockets is a beautiful introduction into the realm of mid-size rockets. It is easy to build, uses readily available "D" and "E" size rocket motors, and is a real eye-catching model that is sure to get noticed whenever it is launched.
The big clear-plastic payload bay is what makes this model unique. It is large enough to fit almost any size payload -- even two raw eggs. Of course, you can launch other payloads as well, like an altimeter to measure how high your rocket flies; or launch a strobe light or buzzer to help you locate the rocket once it has landed.
You can even fly non-electronic payloads that are flown just for fun. Try launching a toy action figure, and make it into an astronaut. Or launch a dozen jumping grasshoppers, and see how they react to the sudden burst of speed and altitude. And you can see it, right through the clear tube! Whatever you launch, it is going to make your launch even more exciting.
While this is a big rocket (39 inches tall and 2.2 inches diameter), it is easy to build: it is only ranked as a skill level two in difficulty. It can be assembled by anyone that has built any other model rocket kit.
