Estes 1295 Mean Machine Flying Model Rocket Kit

The kit comes with evrything you need to put it together except for paint and a good wood glue. Along with the kit i purchased the largest engine that would fit without moving on to "specialty engines". I ended up using the E12-6 engine. WELL worth it. Transporting this bohemoth of an entry level rocket (yes, entry level) was a breeze with it's twist apart breakdown assembly so that you don't have to tie it to your hood like your latest trophy hunting kill. If you watch the supplied video you can see that I opted to go a little more than original because nobody truly likes a copy cat and it turned out great. With a bunch of friends and 14 other rockets, THIS was the one that everybody was most anxious to see light off. It flew pretty darn straight, the 'chute deployed as it should and was an overall success. I would highly recommend this rocket because it's easy to build, garners a lot of attention and let's face it, it's a laugh to hear them all say "It's so big!"

Shot a bunch of rockets last week. Some huge, some tiny. Lots of stages. This one was great to watch. Probably one of my favorites. Easy to see, nice slow launch. Impressive on the ground. Beautiful.

This was my first level three rocket I assembled, I've done 0-2 at this point and this one stretched my abilities a bit but in a fun challenging way. I've nearly finished the assembly and will be painting it soon. Looking forward to seeing it fly!

Rockets really nice and tall, high-quality materials are used. Make sure to get some strong glue to build this rocket, super glue should work well (that's what I used). Only thing I would like to be different is an option to put and F sized engine in this rocket.

If flew great, you could actually see the rocket tube flexing in flight.
