Laser X2

Blast back to the golden age of model rocketry with the Laser X2-a modern reimagining of the iconic 1960s Laser X by legendary designer Lee Piester. This advanced kit blends retro sci-fi style with modern engineering to deliver a rocket that looks as good as it flies.

With its intricate fin tip details, distinctive boat tail, and redesigned decals, the Laser X2 soars up to 450 feet on recommended C5-3 or C6-3 engines before deploying a 15-inch parachute for a smooth recovery. More than a rocket, it's a hands-on tribute to exploration and innovation.

The Laser X2 takes you back to the dawn of modern model rocketry, when pioneers like Lee Piester were pushing the boundaries of imagination and design.

Every detail, from its elegant silhouette to its intricate fin tips, evokes the excitement of a future once imagined.
