A completely modular two stage rocket! Assemble the four basic components, then combine them to make any one of five different configurations. Change any configuration in just minutes for a completely different rocket, and a whole new flying thrill! Both stages are built around our pre-slotted 3 inch diameter phenolic airframe. Rigid G-10 fibreglass fins are included in the kit. A "Kwik switch 2000" motor mount helps you change motor classes in a hurry, and the piston ejection system combines with a tough multi-panel nylon parachute for dependable recovery, flight after flight. The Quantum Leap also includes a foot long payload section, a stage coupler with a built-in electronics bay, and a plastic nose cone. Our usual great instructions guide you through step-by-step assembly.

The PML Quantum Leap is PML's largest 2-stage rocket, and the 2-stage rocket capable of taking the largest rocket motors. The Quantum Leap is an advanced kit, and for those with no 2-stage rocketry experience, will require multiple flights in both single and 2-stage configuration, on lower power motors, before the largest motor combinations can be used safely. The Quantum Leap should only be attempted by experienced rocketeers, due to the more complicated operations associated with multiple stage ignition, and the neccesity of using onboard avionics such as altimeters/accelerometers.
