PRESS RELEASE

Leading Edge Rocketry: New product announcement

August 2, 2008

PhoenixEUGENE, Oregon USA - Leading Edge Rocketry, the model rocket company operating in the Great Northwest part of America, has just introduced another exciting new LED-based kit, the Phoenix, which joins the Night Skeeter in Leading Edge's great Sportster series of kits.

The Phoenix is a racey, futuristic-looking model based on a 1.637" diameter airframe and sporting some really cool looking fins with simulated landing gear that, like the body tube, houses bright light emitting diodes (LEDs). The main body tube has an array of 15 super bright 7800 lumen LEDs arranged in three rows of five, while the fin pods each have one high intensity LED in each pod tip.

Like the Night Skeeter, the micro electronics module that controls the LEDs allows you to flash the LEDs in a sequential or a random pattern. The kit allows the hobby modeler to combine the thrill of rocketry together with electronics and system integration, all in one kit. This kit will really appeal to the electronics hobbyist.

Featuring a real balsa ogive nosecone, laser-cut basswood fins and a kraft cardboard body tube pre-cut for the LED displays, the heart of the electronics centers around the three LED electronics panels and the micro electronics control module. The three LED panels are laser-cut with all of the LED, wire and mounting holes already in place, all you have to do is put it all together.

The LEDs are powered by three AAAA batteries that sit in a unique motor mount holder, surrounding the central motor mount tube, and switched with a micro on/off switch built into the electronics module. Batteries are supplied in the kit by the manufacturer.
