SEMROC Model #KV-19
Description
The Rawhide was first released in 1966. The original rocket had a hardwood nose cone and later models migrated to balsa. The updated Rawhide used laser cut fins, balsa nose cone, and a streamer slightly wider to enhance visibility during recovery. The original rubber shock cord was replaced with elastic cord. The original method of slitting the body tube to anchor the shock cord was replaced by a Kevlar cord.
