The new Quantum Leap II, now with the new Interstage 3000
staging
adapter system, is a completely modular two stage rocket.
Once you assemble the four basic components, you can combine
them to make any of five rocket combinations and can change to
any configuration in minutes. The new Interstage 3000 system
is much easier to prep and use than the previous interstage
coupler design, and is identical in design to the IS3000 used
in the Terrier booster stage for our MiniBBX. The IS3000 comes
complete with timer mounts and remote safety switch.

This 2-stage rocket kit is intended for the experienced HPR
scratch builder intending to supply his/her own electronic
parachute deployment system into the sustainer stage. We
strongly urge you not to fly this kit without an electronic
parachute deployment system installed into the sustainer
stage. Failure to do so will allow the sustainer stage to fall
to earth without recovery deployment if the sustainer motor
fails to ignite. If you are unsure about designing and
installing your own electronic parachute deployment system,
consider buying the Quantum Leap 3000 kit, which contains the
electronic deployment components (except altimeter) as
standard. To purchase a Quantum Leap 3000 kit already equipped
with the CPR3000 Dual-Deployment
Recovery System,

NOTE: The following chart lists configurations of this kit
that may be flown as it is received stock from PML. However,
your addition of an electronic deployment system may/will make
some of these configurations unavailable, depending upon the
design of your system.
