FeaturesHigh performance model rocketry at a moderate price. The 16 inch Flash is a great addition to the Snaps line of model rockets from Estes. You can experience the thrill of building and flying your own high performance model rocket without the need for gluing or waiting. The Flash rocket kit literally snaps together in minutes with the uniquely molded fin set. The pre-colored body tube attaches easily and the die cut decals are a breeze to apply. In just minutes you will have built your 1st model rocket that will look like it was made by a pro! Ease of assembly is just one of the great features of this set. The main feature of the Flash is the sleek, drag defying design that provides high performance cloud base flights over 1,100 feet. Estes model rocketry is recommended for ages 10 and up with adult supervision for those under 12. This model requires assembly. Assembly time can take up to a couple of hours. E2X kits contain parts that are colored, easy to assemble, plastic fins or fin units and plastic nose cones. Glue the parts together as instructed, apply the self-stick decals and attach the recovery system. Tools and construction supplies sold separately.

Q & A
COMMENT: Great deal for a launching system by Jared T 3/3/2012
QUESTION: I know nothing about rockets, but my boys are interested. I see you need to buy wadding, and engines. Do you also need to buy ignitors? by K D 11/26/2011
ANSWER: You definitely need igniters, but they usually come bundled with the engines and wadding. One reason to buy extra igniters is that sometimes they misfire, and it's helpful to have extra around. by Charles C 11/28/2011
