SQUIRREL WORKS Model #SW-028
Description
The third model on our Signature Series line comes from young Texas rocketeer Jarod Frankum. Designed as part of our Iron Rocketeer challenge during NAR’s 2006 National Sport Launch, this ‘hand’some little rocket became an instant hit with the crowd. Commenting on his own design, Jarrod says it is “One small step for hand, one giant leap for handkind” while notable rocketeers from across the country have given the kit “three thumbs way up.”
