Hello All,

When the Teleflite Corporation sold their "How-To" pamphlet about making small sugar rocket motors ("The Incredible Five Cent Sugar Rocket") back in the 1980s, it also came with a set of plans for a small (approximately BT-5 size, if memory serves) model rocket that could be made from existing household items, which used the sugar rocket motors. (It would also fly well using commercially-made 13 mm mini motors.) This rocket rather resembled the MPC Super/Star kit (see: http://www.rocketreviews.com/mpc-su...-jeff-lane.html and http://www.oldrocketplans.com/mpc/m...0/mpc3-0910.htm ).

Does anyone here have the plans for this Teleflite model rocket? I have found the sugar rocket pamphlet text reproduced online, but not the model plans.

Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

Thank you very much! If you would, please also send it to Scott ("LTVScout") so that everyone can access it. Although the rocket was designed to use Teleflite's sugar propellant motors, it will accommodate 13 mm mini motors and/or 6 mm MicroMaxx motors. Since this rocket was designed to be made from common household materials, it would be a good model for Industrial Arts-type model rocket projects for schools, Scouts, 4-H Clubs, and other youth groups.

Hi Blackshire,
I have the sugar rocket plans from Teleflite. Its called The Microsond 1. Its for 'the incredible 5 cent sugar rocket' and the associated mini sugar engine, but can use for mini motors and Micro maxx engines. The original document was a single page sheet 11x14 with instructions on obverse side and patterns and plans on reverse side. I scanned both sides. Be sure to print on 8.5 x14 legal format for full layout. I will send to Scott as well. Enjoy !

Thank you very much, Kevin! I had forgotten that it also included a full-size circular parachute pattern. This would be a good Scout project rocket for making the rockets out of common household materials (in keeping with the "A Scout is thrifty" trait). Just one question--are the TIFs 100% size? It looks like they are, but I can't tell for sure because the original document didn't have a ruler scale printed on the side with the drawings.

Its true to size. I always opt to print at 100 percent scale rather than fit to scale. Be sure to print on legal and should be all set. Sorry the photo images aren't as sharp but I try to keep to the established format for Scott ( Hanson).
I'ms sure the scouts will have a lot of fun.
Good Luck.
Kevin
