One of Estes' newer rockets to reflect the times. This is a simple build single piece fin can unit that's decorated in patriotic colors.
Estes makes allot of these types of rocket, and real "builders" don't seem to like them because they're too easy to put together, not much skill involved.
We have a few of them and the one thing that we have noticed is that they are very good flyers. They're marketed to the beginner so the build isn't hard and flights are stable and straight. They seem to do what they are intended to do. Give someone an easy introduction into the hobby.
Built 8-3-02
Diameter 1.35", Length 17.5", and Weight 2.7 oz. 18mm motors and parachute recovery.
