An economy Semroc that is short and sweet... with scalded-dog performance
This rocket doesn't have a four colour, heavy card artsy fartsy bumpf front end that gets tossed as soon as your rip the plastic bag open with your teeth. This is a simple, easy to build rocket with an interesting twist... in addition to the real value of US-made kit components instead of garish Made in China tat.
All the Boids come with precision turned balsa noses and laser-cut tail plummage but it's a bit of a mix-and-match... there are an assortment of My Boid noses and finnage. This makes My Boid an excellent choice for groups that don't want to build identical rockets. Ther are about 100 different permutations... but only one basic instruction set to follow.
There are over 100 different Boid combinations of fin, BT and nose so while there may be two alike, they are few and far between... but the workshop leader only needs ONE set of instructions.
My Boids are available in class packs of FIVE, TEN and TWENTY kits. If you have larger groups in mind, let us know! With Boids, the more the merrier!
