Over the decades, Big Bertha has been most modelers' first big build. While standing on its massive fins, this big rocket checks in at an impressive 2 feet tall. If you've never flown a Bertha, get one and launch it. Once you've flown it, you'll take it to every launch! The Big Bertha gives you a slow, realistic liftoff. What a thrill it is to watch! Propelled by powerful standard Estes engines, this beauty travels to 500 feet and comes back to earth with a decorated 18 inch parachute. Quality Estes body tubes, laser cut wood fins, molded plastic nose cone and easy to apply decals make for an afternoon of building enjoyment. In one afternoon your Bertha is ready for an exciting time at the launch field! Tools, construction and finishing supplies sold separately. In order to launch, a launch system, model rocket engines, igniters and recovery wadding are required - sold separately. Please note: The black version shown is the 2011 version, during 2012 it will be replaced with the yellow version.
