Magna-Frame Airframes

COMPOSITE AIRFRAME FROM
Giant Leap

TECH-TIP! Click Here HIGH PERFORMANCE AIRFRAME WITHOUT THE WEIGHT

What is MAGNA-FRAME?

Magna-Frame is interlaced with layers of GREY VULCANIZED FIBER and PHENOLIC.

A PROPRIETARY HARDENED COATING inside and out seals out moisture.

A HIGH TEMPERATURE CURED to create a high-strength composite structure.

Every Element has a Purpose...

Each part of this new composite airframe carries its weight:

  Vulcanized fiber is very STRONG and is used in military applications.
        Caution: There are different grades of vulcanized fiber -- be sure you buy GREY

  Phenolic is resistant to moisture and avoids the warpage of pure vulcanized paper tubes.
        Caution: we tested pure vulcanized fiber tubes (no phenolic stabilizer) -- they warped -- BADLY. A phenolic stabilizer is CRITICAL.
        After all that work on your rocketâ€¦..why take a chance on inferior tubing? Know what you're buying!

  The proprietary coating further resists moisture to keep the airframe straight.

  Baking hardens and cures the different elements into one composite structure.

ADVANTAGES OF MAGNA-FRAME

shown next to phenolic for comparison

  MAGNA-FRAME IS S-T-R-O-N-G

  MAGNA-FRAME IS LIGHT - - SIMILAR TO PHENOLIC

  MAGNA-FRAME IS INEXPENSIVE

        Money-saving alternative to filament-wound fiberglass

  MAGNA-FRAME IS SAFE.
  IT ABSORBS CA ADHESIVES AND EPOXIES.

        It resists warpage

        Like fiberglass airframes, it accepts CA adhesives and epoxies (be sure to scuff the hardened outer coating).
