Rockets - High School Engineering, TX

Let the “rocket’s red glare” keep shining with Aves Products!

I purchased 3 lb of Apoxie Sculpt last March for my students to finish the edges of 3 Carbon Fibre/Nomex rocket fins.  The Apoxie made it so that they could hone the exact shape on the edge...making their actual flight much closer to the computer sim and spreading the forces over more of the edge.  My students successfully broke the sound barrier with their nearly 60 lb, 10 ft tall rocket...and thanks the Apoxie there were no problems when the rocket went transonic.  You make a great product!!!  The damage in the second pic occurred because the fin hit right on the seam between the nomex and the Apoxie at about 45 mph (main chute didn't deploy so that is all the damage from 47 lbs falling 13,500 ft on a drogue chute).

 I really appreciate it and am using it on my Level 3 certification attempt this August!!!
