Semroc VF-261 Model Rocket Kit

The Semroc VF-261 is the result of 46 years of seeing the rocket on the 1961 cover of an Estes Industries catalog and dreaming of trying it out someday.

Since it is most like the German V-2, that became the starting point of the Semroc design. Using a 3D modeling program and RockSim, it came to life. The name came from "Vern's Fantasy" and the Estes catalog number (#261). Vern Estes probably based his drawing on the Luna 3 from the 1950 film "Destination Moon," but for many early model rocketeers, the Estes drawing linked space travel and model rocketry together.

The VF-261 uses a pre-drilled balsa boat tail and a pre-drilled balsa nose cone. Clay is provided for stability. A 12-inch two-color chute is included along with Kevlar cord for the shock cord mount. Laser-cut balsa fins make the build easier even for beginning modelers.
