The Plan-Pak version of the Scimitar is a two-stage rocket, powered by a cluster of three "D" motors in the booster stage, followed by a single "D" in the upper stage, lit by the Scimitar's own self-contained electrical ignition system. The Plan-Pak version requires some easy wiring work, but everything is shown in clear detail in our step-by-step instructions.

ATTENTION!:  Now we've taken this favorite Plan-Pak rocket and modified it to be flown as a single-stage kit!   When launched, it looks the same as our famous two-stage Plan-Pak version, but is much simpler internally and requires no wiring.  The complete kit version of the SCIMITAR flies on a pair of "D" motors, or, if you have experience in igniting clustered composite fuel motors, a pair of 24mm AeroTech "E15" motors may be used.  Returns safely with a single 18" diameter octagonal Mylar parachute.  This is one beautiful rocket!  Why not build both versions?
