Celebrating 35 years of LOC - we bring back an old favorite! The LaserLOC series was one of the first production minimum diameter kits available to the public. Keeping the tradition going we have a few modern day tweaks that will put your skills to the test. A gentle laser etch around the slots allow for easier glassine removal. Multi-slot airframe allow the fins to click into the booster. Precut 4oz fiberglass cloth can be easily epoxied from fin-airframe-fin. This reinforcement will give your LaserLOC the strength for today's higher impulse motors. Fiberglass should be applied with a long cure epoxy for best results. If you have never glassed anything before, here's your chance! The booster is a zipperless design. 1/4" Launch lugs included. Fly away rail guides are another alternative.

Strong enough for supersonic flights. Light enough on your wallet and to fly an E motor!!!

Ruby ★★★★★

I've always been a fan of minimum diameter designs, so seeing this classic return was a no-brainer for me. The build quality is spot-on, and it flies straight and true right out of the box. Perfect for anyone wanting a no-fuss, high-performance rocket.

Nicholas ★★★★★

Built this one for a friend who never flew a minimum diameter bird before. The laser-cut fins fit the slots perfectly, and having a kit with this much heritage in the box was a nice touch for a 35th anniversary. It went together in an afternoon and flew straight as an arrow on its first launch.

Daniel D. ★★★★★

The minimum diameter design makes for a clean, classic look, and the kit fit together perfectly with no gaps. I had it ready for the launch pad in just a couple of evenings.
