Terra GLM (2) (English Only) Skill BEG

The future of long-range air defense is the Terra GLM. This
hypothetical ground launch missile is designed around the latest
rocketry and armament technology. Highlights include a next generation
ramjet engine with a variable intake scoop for hypersonic flight,
lightweight and efficient fuel cell technology to power all electronic
and electrical components, and a split fin design with an upper
stabilizing section and lower flight control surfaces. The ordinance
segment of this mock missile can be adapted for a range of payloads,
dependent on the mission and the target.

While the full-scale Terra GLM may not be real (yet!) the
Estes GLM model rocket is ready to be flown today! This scale-like
model missile is loaded with great features that set it apart. The kit
is assembled with several pre-finished plastic parts – ramjet
style nosecone, mid-body tube joiner, detailed fins with simulated
(non-functional) steering surfaces, and engine mount components
– all molded in military olive drab. The body tubes also come
pre-finished in military colors, so no painting is required. The
realistic details don’t end there! The Terra GLM includes a
sheet of peel-and-stick decals that push the look of this model to the
next level. Simulated access panels, rivet points, roll pattern
markings, and military-style stenciling all contribute to the authentic
look of the finished model rocket.

The Terra GLM is no slouch when launch day comes around,
either! This sleek and attractive model can easily reach 875 feet on an
Estes C6-5
engine. Launching from a smaller field? No problem – just use
the recommended Estes B4-4
or B6-4
engines for a more modest peak attitude. Engines are held in place with
a quick-release engine hook and can quickly and easily be replaced
between flights. Keep your eyes peeled for the classic orange, 12
inch parachute when it deploys at ejection. You’ll
have your Terra GLM back in no time, ready to launch and defend the
skies once more!
