![]() We painted ours a shiny silver to give it a metallic look. It is a 5-to-1 ogive that seems to pierce a hole through the sky as it ascends into the air. The long nose cone adds another distinctive feature to the rocket. They reflect whatever the surface the rocket is standing on, and give it the illusion that the fins are cut right through the middle.

One is multi-colored printed on white vinyl that adds lots of not a splash of color, but a bucket-load of color. There are two sheets of decals in the kit. Not only does the shape look graceful, but the rocket has big decals that add to the attractiveness. It is very rare for a high power rocket to have fins that project below the base of the tube, and these do that plus they have that swoopy curve that is reminiscent of the sci-fi rockets from the 1950's. What makes this rocket so noteworthy is the swept-back curvature of the fins. It is a slow moving rocket that makes it a great platform for experimentation, like learning how to set up dual-deployment electronics. ![]() It weighs over 5 lbs, so it is not a rocket that will fly too high that you won't see it the whole time it is in the air. This is a big rocket, with a length of 68.8 inches and a diameter of 4.0 inches, so it will impress you with its size. The purpose of dual deployment is to bring the rocket down faster, so it doesn't drift as far. The Peregrine is a high-power capable dual-deployment rocket.
