These are three flying rocket model trim weights manufactured by Model Rocket Industries. Made of lead, trim weights are used in a flying rocket model when it is necessary to provide the model balance. This permits the model to fly straight instead of veering off course. These trim weights were donated by G. Harry Stine, one of the American pioneers in the field of flying rocket models.
