Nimbus

You want to talk about extreme? This high performance, 54mm rocket kit is capable of extremely high altitude flights. The fully `glassed version has flown to 13,685 on an Aerotech K-185. The test vehicle was found relatively close to the launch pad even though it was launched in 20MPH winds, thanks to the Close Proximity Recovery system.This kit comes with a 30" long booster to accommodate very long 54mm composite and even hybrid motors!The Nimbus is not available with QT tubing.The Nimbus is 2.1" ID and stands 73" tall. The fully `glassed model weighs approximately 48oz.

This rocket includes CPR3000

(NOTE: A CPR-based rocket must always be flown with the electronics installed. A CPR-based rocket cannot be flown with motor-based ejection).

For added structural integrity when using high impulse motors or for trans-sonic and supersonic flight, we highly recommend using the optional "Glass Wrap" fiberglass laminating kit. The "GlassWrap" kit comes complete with precut fiberglass cloth, professional epoxy laminating resin, hardener and detailed instructions.

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.
