Manufacturer: Clone
Construction Rating: 
Flight Rating:
Overall Rating:
Contributed by Bill Eichelberger
Brief
The Laser Torpedo was essentially a shortened Photon Disruptor with different decals and a Wolverine nose. Envisioning a fleet of Wolverines, I had bought several of the cones at NARCON from BMS, then found that the Wolverine didn't fly well enough to make a fleet. Checking John Brohm's Estes nose cone reference, I found that I had the option of building a Teros or the Laser Torpedo with the orphaned cone, and since the Teros utilized white decals and chrome stickers, the choice of the Laser Torpedo was a pretty simple one.
