Questions & Answers

Can you please let me know how much you need ?

There will be motors, wadding recovered during launch, a launch pad, and a controller to launch the rocket The kit features a mini hologram as well as the rest of Estes' products, except the combo launch pack.

Is it required to have a certain type of engine?

Engines of the E class are used by the Magician. I think of it as a If you have a 4, you should also get an E- The Rocket we have built is one of our favorites. We have built many that are great. This is a good medium size that the E Engines can really push.

Is this going to take a long time ?

Depending on your skill level, your level and where you are at. A new builder could build it in a few hours of work over two or three sessions ( glue and paint drying in between ). In general, the tools you need are hardware store spray paint and a nicely sanded finish in the body tube and fins. Depending upon the skill level, it may take up to 8 hours or so for a less skilled person.

Would you be able to fly this with an F motor?

Is it something you want You might try jamming and modding that sucker if the answer is no. It recovered after using E, and I didn't have any issues. As such, I recommend that you do not ask for it back.

A lot of fun for a lot of We built this Estes rocket quickly as compared to some other rockets we've built before and it was nice
5/5

It was not necessary for me to use As a matter of fact, we never do this since my 5yo's job is to paint them. They normally look like a Mardi Gras explosion, but he loves it anyway, There is only one downside, though the vehicle can only fit a D or E engine, and those puppies are expensive. We have A-rated rockets on all our other rockets Because they were C size engines, we had to buy them separately at a cost of $5 each. This is painful. However, the reward for this monster is definitely worth it- A rocket of that size.

It is amazing that this rocket exists Durable - much more so than expected
5/5

It is amazing that this rocket exists Durable - much more so than expected. In the first launch, when it was out of fuel, the rocket exploded and came down nose first, then the engine rebooted, and it went up about 300 feet, then the engine blew again, causing the rocket to nose dive. Power was applied to ignite and drive the rocket into the ground In approximately 5 seconds, the chute charge fired and the engine was ejected. hit the ground at a height of 6 inches. Our team removed it from the ground The following dot There is no other damage to the nose cone, although it was jammed from the body. After relaunching it successfully, it became very popular. There is no way I can explain how it survived.

A flight of great heights! The build is great
5/5

This is a platform for a computer I am building for avionics. This note applies This rocket will fly very high, since it uses the most powerful motor recommended for the set! I have also carried a dummy weight with me (even with the empty container). Take note of how much room you have for flying! Already two of these have gotten stuck in trees!.

Build with your children if you want to have fun
5/5

Having fun with Estes Rockets is a great way to spend time In many cases, they launch and fly away forever, but the act of building, preparing and launching them makes it all worthwhile.

Looks like a great rocket! My last attempt at one of these was many years ago
5/5

Yet, I decided to give it a shot, when I found myself with a few spare minutes. The package arrived on time, but two of the fins were Then, I glued them back together again. As far as the build went, it was straightforward. The final product was nice and I took my time making it. It looks like a sleek rocket, I must tell you. Since it's the dry season here in Florida, I'm going to wait until later to launch it. I don't want to start a brush fire, but I look forward to it flying.

Rocket that shoots like a bullet
5/5

For young enthusiasts. ts, there is one more step to go. Compared to this rocket, Elon Musk doesn't stand a chance. It is a rocket lovers rocket with the only negative for California being it is hard to obtain It is possible to acquire engines in the class without having to wait for several weeks. Furthermore, do not forget how expensive the e-book is The average price of an engine in this class is $10. A capsule was made up of miniature parachute men and three parachutists were able to be released from 1600 feet. OH MY GOD, how cool is that!.

The xacto knife is necessary
5/5

I did this with my son, 4 years old, and we had a lot of fun. The rocket is capable of even loading a lego man inside. Use scotch tape for the nose cone and a "C" engine for the rocket if you want it to fly. Engines "E" and "D" have too much power for it.

That rocket was awesome
5/5

This rocket is awesome. A fair amount of effort is required to assemble this set. Developed a D12-based landing system for its first three flights A motor with a size of 8. See the parachute once it pops so you'll know where it is). The third flight was affected by an engine malfunction which caused the fins to blow off, but the rocket was not at fault. I would recommend it to anyone.
