Switchblade XP has been superseded by the Swingshot (https://jhaerospace.wpengine.com/product/switchblade-xp-rocket-glider-kit/); this product listing is for reference only.

The world’s very first production micro-r/c rocket glider! This model represents an enlargement of the successful Switchblade S, but introduces the thrill of radio control. One of the easiest r/c rockets to fly—it launches completely hands-off. You only need to take over after the wings deploy. Like its free-flight sibling, this model does not require you to sand in any airfoils to achieve precision shapes, although those features will provide a measurable performance increase.

Kit includes:

– Hand selected contest grade balsa
– Formed wire components
– All hardware for mechanisms and control linkages
– Detailed instruction manual
