FIRESTORM 54 SD Single Deployment version $101.26
(has most of the great features of the dual version but with a 10” payload bay, no drogue system or av. bay).
The FIRESTORM 54 has been completely revised from the ground up. It is carefully engineered to make it high performance on the one hand, yet simple to build on the other. It incorporates some very advanced features like:
- Avionics Bay with mounting board ! (dual version only)
- Acme Fin Canister, an incredibly strong fin unit, molded in a high compression mold using composite material.
- Saves you the time and mess of laying up fins, and allows incredible speeds and force loads.
- KEVLAR® shock cord - presewn loops (2 recovery sets on Dual Deploy, and 1 with single deploy).
- KEVLAR® chute protectors,
- Aluminum conformal rail guides,
- Slimline motor retainer.
- Supermount system to secure the shockcord to airframe. Easy to use!
- New 54mm nosecone 5 to 1 exposed length, with sandable ribs, and secure connections.
- Ripstop chute: 36 main chute and 18” drogue
- Quiklinks for easy connect and disconnect.
- Vinyl DECAL
- 14 page instructions with step-by-step photos.
- DUAL DEPLOYMENT IN JUST A FEW HOURS.
- LEVEL 1 OR 2 CAPABLE.
- Mach-busting is easy ….. Altitude records are just hours away
- Built to withstand hard landings, so rapid, high altitude descents are possible.
- Dual deployment version can be flown in single deployment configuration.

The FIRESTORM 54 comes with a 54mm motor mount so that it can be flown on powerful J and K motors. Beware that using those motors will propel the FIRESTORM 54 to extremely high altitudes. With the optional SLIMLINE 54-38mm adapter, you can fly this rocket to more moderate altitudes on H and I motors.
