Tiny Pterodactyl

Like its parent the mighty Pterodactyl and sibling Pterodactyl Jr., the Tiny Pterodactyl was born to fly.

Use an F motor for slow, graceful flights or pack it with a G motor for real excitement. We’ve even flown the Tiny Pterodactyl on an H-238 and amazed the crowd with a neck-snapping transonic flight!*

* Nose weight was added to keep the CG forward of the CP during this flight. Some rocketeers like to keep two nosecones on hand: one weighted for higher power motors and a standard one for lower power flights.

The TINY PTERO is a fast and fun kit for Pre-Cert & Level 1 flights. This rocket stands 25.5" tall, is 2.2" in diameter and has a 3 (Unusual) fin design. This rocket comes standard with a 29mm motor mount and can fly on F thru H motors. At ~18 oz., the 21" parachute is sized right for the stock kit to make a safe landing under most field conditions. 

It is prudent to sim your kit/motor combination using the actual weight of your finished model to determine max velocity, altitude, ejection delay, etc. This will allow you to make an informed decision when selecting a suitable motor for your rocket. Please consult with a NAR or Tripoli certified member to ensure your flights are fun and safe.
