Customer Reviews

Very fun Review by DKL

My family loves launching this rocket. It's so much fun having to recover the nose cone coming down separately from the body! Half of us chase the body and the other half the nose cone. (Posted on 1/22/12)

Great rocket Review by Bear

I love the heli recovery and the parachute is good. also, I wish I saved some of the extra rubber bands because they snapped after keeping it in storage for too long. (Posted on 1/1/12)

First Rocket - Awesome! Review by Ian

I got this rocket for Christmas. My dad and I launched it yesterday. It was so cool! The kids in the neighborhood loved it. The only thing that went wrong was that the shock band broke loose since the directions say to glue it to the inside of the rocket. I think It would hold better if there was something to tie it to.

One of my favorites. Review by Patrick

When I was younger, I picked this up and my friends loved to see me send this exciting rocket up in the sky. The way the nose cone helicopters down is not only different, but very neat. This is a great rocket to build with youngsters, its easy, fun and will provide plenty of fun and limitless launches. (Posted on 12/12/11)

Very Fun Review by Evan

It is great to have a launch set because then I can use it for other rockets as well. (Posted on 9/11/11)

Easy and fun! Review by Jim W.

This rocket starter kit was easy to build and my seven year old son built most of it. Cool flyer! We had a blast flying this rocket.

great rocket but hard to find nose cone Review by Josh

this rocket was very easy to build but on my first launch i could not find the nose cone, i looked for about an hour and could not find it ): .

Not sure about engine Review by New flyer

Very difficult to determine that the kit does not include an engine and then they dont even recommend a engine. I guess the boys are to close to pueblo CO and dont understand we are not experts and they should be clear that engines are required and which ones... or why do you call it a launch set.. ESTES NOTE: Recommended Engines are listed under Additional Information--Technical Specifications, on our website. Additionally, the front of the box states "Requires Estes Engines." The back of the box lists the recommended engines with a first flight recommendation.
