Just 1.6 inches in diameter and 44 inches tall, Cirrus Dart is loaded with features. Features like a dado-slotted kraft phenolic airframe, an eight inch long payload section, rigid G-10 fibreglass fins, a pre-weighted solid nose cone, and an ultra light nylon parachute. Also included is PML's Piston Ejection System, and pre-cut six ounce fibreglass fin joint reinforcing cloth. You've seen minimum diameter, high altitude model rockets, and this isn't one! Cirrus Dart is not a Skill Level One kit. If you want to keep a high velocity, minimum diameter rocket together in flight, you have to meet critical construction criteria. But the kit contains all the parts you need, and PML's unusually detailed instructions.

Because Cirrus Dart can attain higher altitudes on H-class and I-class motors than a 4 inch diameter rocket on K power! In fact, you can soar to over a mile high with an H-242 motor!.
