Protect the airspace around your neighborhood from surprise attack with the Estes Guardian! This Skill Level 2 kit was created with a multiple-fin design, representative of the Nike ground to air missiles that were used in our country's defense for years. Between 1954 and 1974 many USA cities were ringed by Nike missile sites, intended to protect against attack by enemy bombers. The first versions of the missiles were armed with high explosive warheads, so they could bring down the target even with a near miss. The Guardian stands just over 19 inches and features two body tubes, a transition section, laser cut balsa fins, molded nose cone and high quality self-stick decals. Altitudes over 700 feet can be reached when launching on standard Estes engines. A reliable recovery is in store with its 12 inch parachute. With its exceptional looks and high altitude performance, the Guardian will make a great addition to your rocket collection. Get protected today...get a Guardian for your arsenal! The Guardian requires more skill in building and painting. 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.
