Overview

The King of the Blobbos! A short and squat rocket, the large, 5 1/2 inch diameter of the King Blobbo not only looks impressive, but also means the rocket can fly on some impressive 54mm diameter motors, yet because of its size, still be flown from smaller launch sites than one would normally fly with larger motors.

It's an ideal rocket for trying those big J-class motors if you don't want to fly too high, but just want an impressive launch! Or try it for rocket drag racing!

Fly the King on H-class through to J-class motors.
