Welcome to the S8E RC Rocket Glider Page
If you've never flown a really high performance RC Rocket Glider, IT
IS A KICK! The glider will reach over 100 mph on a D12 (assuming you have
built it reasonably light) and will glide for about 3 minutes. An E6 is
a real knee-knocking experience with the glider reaching altitudes of approximately
1000 feet in 10 seconds and gliding in dead air for about 7 minutes. This
is the most fun you can have with a model rocket motor!!!
This is the venerable KnightStar 4 on Kevin McKiou's very first
E6 flight. Photo was taken by Ben Roberto at the "Chicago S8E Mafia's"
practice field in Naperville, Illinois, USA.
