California Kid

BINDER DESIGN Model #

Description

Designed to pay tribute to the early High Power movement, the California Kid is a 4″ dia. high power rocket with a nostalgic “retro” look. With its “retro” vinyl decals, brushed aluminum nozzle assembly, and nostalgic fin styling, the California Kid is one classy bird!

Designed for 54mm motors, but light enough to fly on 38mm motors with optional adapter.

This kit is a great Level 2 bird that gives very memorable flights on easy access J350 or J570 motors, or fly it on a K550 and watch it tear a hole in the sky!
