The ASR Interceptor is currently the most popular large Rocket in South Africa!  It sells for R500 and the Parachute Recovery System sells for R300.  It can be launched with either the ASR REC-2 Timer or an Altimeter or both.  The ASR REC-2 Timer sells for R300 and includes everything needed to get your parachutes out at the time you specify.  The AIM USB Altimeter sells for R900 if you prefer.

The ASR Interceptor can be flown with several different Rocket Motors.  The most popular Rocket Motor is the 38mm I-Class Motor.  It sells for R550 and is re-loadable.  Each launch will require a propellant (Rocket Fuel) reload.  The I-Class reload sells for R85 and includes the Propellant, O-ring, Liner, Motor igniter and parachute ejection charges.

If you order the ASR Interceptor with all the options listed, you can get it for a total price of R1485 saving you 10% off the list price!  To take the AIM USB Altimeter add R700.  To take the Extreme version add R1000.  (Contact us about the Extreme Version Option)
