Andromeda

The impressive stature of this 3.9" diameter kit combined with a bold fin design will be sure to draw a crowd at any launch! With it`s 36" long motor mount, this kit can handle any of the Hypertek 54mm hybrid motors. You can also expect outstanding high altitude flights with most 54mm J composite motors without any modifications. Many of the larger K composite motors will require exceptional building skills and possible reinforcement of the airframe and fins.

Hybrid motors were developed some time ago and have now become the economical alternative to composite motors. As you may already know, hybrid motor ready rockets must have three features not found in most other rockets:-- An extended motor tube to accommodate the longer length of the hybrid system.-- An electronic recovery system since hybrid motors do not have an ejection charge built in.-- Rail lugs since most hybrid launch pads use a guide rail rather than launch rod.We are pleased to announce an entire line of Hybrid Ready rockets kits that incorporate all of the above!In addition to all the usual features of a PML rocket kit, all of the hybrid kits (except the Ion: 28" and Nimbus: 30") have a full 36" motor tube allowing the use of even the longest hybrid motor. Apogee parachute deployment is accomplished via the new ERM (Electronic Recovery Module). This new system allows you to use the Accu-Fire Timer or the Co-Pilot Altimeter* that you may already own. This system uses many of the same features and components that has made our CPR system so popular. Flight prep takes less than 5 minutes!

Here's what you get with the ERM system:

• Complete altimeter/timer bay assembly.
• Complete Threaded Airframe Coupler assembly made from 6061 aluminum with a blue anodized finish.
• * All mounting hardware for the PML Co-Pilot or Transolve P6 altimeter. Mounts for Transolve P5 or P4 and Adept ALTS-25 altimeters sold separately as CPR2K-FAM and -AAM.
• A complete ejection system including charge canister for e-matches and holder. (Charge cylinders for flash bulbs sold separately.)
• Rear deployment piston system.
• External safety switch and lead wires.
