A very modern new approach to flying jet powered model airplanes.

Unlike Jetex, the Rapier system is a one shot unit, burn the motor and replace with a new one. Now available in 4 sizes. It is vital that the safety and instructions for use are carefully studied before use.

L1 Length 34mm, Diameter 10mm, Weight 4.5gms. Burn time 24 seconds, mean thrust 38 mN, peak thrust 55 mN, Total impulse 0.90 Ns. Comes in a box of 10 motors complete with 10 fuses in a separate compartment suitable for very small scale models or cavorted chuck gliders up to about 10" span. We offer a free plan from Peter Smart, the Scabbard for this motors size which builds into a very simple high performance model. The burn time of the motors varies a little between batches but is in the area ot 18 to 25 seconds, quite enough for a free flight model. Each lot varies a little in performance although dimensions remain the same.
