Introducing... The Fool Spool
Spools are Cool! This we know!
We are introducing the Green Monkey Aerospace "FOOL SPOOL".
We are proud to carry Green Monkey Aerospace products. GMA has been creating products for rockets for over 18 years. Behind the mind of master engineer, Neil Kinney, comes many products created by a long time Level 3 Certified Rocketeer for rocketeers. Making products that you can't find easily, GMA will get your dreams into reality!
Imagine you are at a launch with LOW CLOUD COVER, but you're at an event and YOU WANNA FLY! Here you go!
If you have never flown a spool, then you have to grab one of these! This is a 3D printed spool kit, that is similar to some of the other spool kits you see out and about! This particular model, made of 3D printed ASA and PETG components, along with a 29mm Motor Mount which can friction fit your motor (or have a retainer installed) to fly to over 200 feet with the right choice of motor.

Get Yours Now!
Kit does NOT come with instructions, decals, or Nomex chute protector, so make sure that you pick up some extra or use some from your own stock! We recommend recovery wadding, dog barf, OR a 6" Recovery Blanket!
If you'd like a different type of recovery harness, choose one of the many listed under the recovery section. We recommend using a chute during all flights as tumble recovery could damage the PETG parts!
This is fitted to fly on a 1/4" Launch Rod at your favorite club! The body tube has a line embedded on it in which you can line up the 1/4" holes on the spool ends to line it up without installing any "launch lugs". With some modification, you could also place some rail guides somehow if you're feeling ambitious.
This is the first working revision of this product and we will be updating more and more to this design as feedback from customers comes to pass.
This will have a limited warranty provided by @ModelRocketGuy if components do not fit, or if there is a flaw in the design. The damaged caused by flights WILL NOT be covered under any warranty replacements!
Thanks for your purchase and HAPPY flying! Thanks for choosing Green Monkey Aerospace and ModelRocketGuy!
