The fully `glassed version has flown to 13,685 on an Aerotech K-185. The test vehicle was found relatively close to the launch pad even though it was launched in 20MPH winds, thanks to the Close Proximity Recovery system.

This kit comes with a 30" long booster to accommodate very long 54mm composite and even hybrid motors!
The Nimbus is not available with QT tubing.

The Nimbus is 2.1" ID and stands 73" tall. The fully `glassed model weighs approximately 48oz.

For added structural integrity when using high impulse motors or for trans-sonic and supersonic flight, we highly recommend using the optional "Glass Wrap" fiberglass laminating kit. The "GlassWrap" kit comes complete with precut fiberglass cloth, professional epoxy laminating resin, hardener and detailed instructions.

The Mini BBX is very close to true scale and comes with detailed painting instructions. The Mini BBX is perfect for Level 1 Cert flights as it flies using high-impulse G through I motors in its 29mm MMT. The tail cone at the base of the rocket is designed to fit the optional Terrier Booster Stage for a truly authentic Black Brant X two-stage flight. The CPR3000 Mini BBX kit includes a Quantum Tube airframe, a specially designed tail cone, and G-10 fins, as well as the CPR3000 system as described on the CPR/ERM page. Add an altimeter as discussed on the top of this page and you`re ready to fly! The Mini-BBX CANNOT use a motor retainer of any kind if it will someday be used with the Terrier booster. Sorry.

This is a very close scale replica of the bottom stage of the Black Brant X sounding rocket. Slip it under the PML Mini-BBX and you will have the complete, scale rocket! You can easily double the altitude and have the thrill of two stage flying without all the usual guesswork of a "standard" or scratch- built two-stage rocket. (We recommend the CPR version of the MiniBBX as the best for the Terrier. This is due to the tremendous altitudes the Terrier/MiniBBX combo will reach, and also because a CPR-based MiniBBX will still deploy the `chutes even if the sustainer stage doesn`t ignite, saving the rocket). The Terrier Booster is easy to assemble and very easy to prep. We spent months developing the best and most reliable inter-stage coupler on the market just for this kit. The Terrier Booster requires the Transolve ST-2b Timer or the up- coming PML AccuFire Timer (release date August 2001) for upper stage ignition. Order today, the Terrier Boosters are in stock and ready to ship NOW.

• 2.5" Quantum Tubing airframe
• 10" long 38mm MMT (I284 maximum motor)
• Scale urethane transition to Mini BBX sustainer stage.
• Booster equipped with piston ejection system and 30" PML parachute; uses motor ejection for booster recovery.
• Detailed, easy-to-follow instructions loaded with helpful graphics.
• Scale decal

PML`s Quantum Leap has always been a favorite with advanced rocketeers looking for a quality two-stage launch vehicle. However, with this kind of performance, there`s one thing we`ve always wanted to bring to the Q-Leap, and now it`s here! The Quantum Leap 3000, with PML`s famous CPR3000 system! The new Quantum Leap 3000 also includes the new Interstage 3000 staging adapter system first seen in the Terrier booster for our MiniBBX. The new Interstage 3000 system is much easier to prep and use than the previous interstage coupler design, and comes complete with timer mounts and remote safety switch. For more details on CPR3000, go to the CPR/ERM page.
