Laser Lance is an original Estes design with a distinct Military look. Blimey! Definitely nay your standard 3FN rocket. Aye aye! Projected altitude is 925' on an Estes D12-5. Could also double as a payload rocket.

Open Rocket says 294' for a B6-4 so grabbed me 24x18 mm adapter and loaded it up. Begad! Good flight t' a couple o' hundred feet or so in spite o' high wind. Aye aye! Ejection charge fired at apogee and rocket drifted back across flight line landin' next t' club trailer and was dragged under by wind resultin' in two fins gettin' slight damage. Rocket is still launchable, just needs a little touch-up..

I can now safely state that this rocket will fly on B and C motors with an 18mm adapter as I have flown it several times with those motors. I have yet to try an A8-3 but Open Rocket predicts 116' for that motor so it should be OK as well. Makes for a great all around rocket flying on everything from an 18mm A motor to a composite 24mm E20 motor at 1500+'.
