Spek

Skill Level 2: Previous Rocket Experience Sug-

gested

The Spek is a two-stage rocket designed specifi-

cally for the National Association of Rocketry's contest

for the "Altimeter Altitude" event. In the single-stage

configuration, it can use a 13mm diameter 1/4A, 1/2A,

or A-size rocket motor. When adding the booster stage,

you can use it in the "B-altitude" event, because two A-

size engines added together is equivalent to the power

of a "B" rocket motor.

The dual-diameter rocket is sized (at the top) for

altimeters that fit into an 18mm payload tube. With its

custom vacuum-formed transition section the Spek

then reduces down to a 13mm motor at the bottom to

decrease the weight and lower the drag. This rocket

also comes with a cardstock fin alignment guide to

assure that the fins are perfectly straight and evenly

spaced around the rocket. This lowers the drag, and

allows the rocket to fly to new record-setting altitudes.
