High-Powered, High-Altitude Performance

Capable of reaching an astonishing 2,000 feet, the Vogel is built for high-powered launches. The two-stage booster system ensures a dramatic, high-flying experience as it ignites its second stage in mid-flight, delivering maximum altitude and efficiency.

Whether launching solo or as part of a club event, this rocket is designed to impress.

Advanced Two-Stage Design

Durable Construction & Smooth Recovery

Equipped with two nylon parachutes, the Vogel ensures safe and controlled descents for both stages. An 18-inch parachute recovers the upper stage, while a 15-inch parachute brings the booster back to the ground. Its precision-cut components and sturdy body tubes make for a robust rocket that can withstand multiple flights. The reliable recovery system allows for repeat launches and experimentation with various engine configurations.

Build Video!

The fact that you have a solid build video has inspired me to put this rocket on my future buy list. I've always struggled with the weight of a rocket when building two stage rockets. They always come out to heavy and slow off the pad because I over build them. I will use your video to build this rocket exactly as advertised. Personally, I'd like to see more of these videos in the future, especially on the complex rocket builds. Thanks!
