Experience the thrill of flying a super-sized replica of the SpaceShipOne, the Ansari X PRIZE winner! This Estes SpaceShipOne E powered giant is fun to build and even more exciting to fly. The full-size rocket was designed by Burt Rutan of Scaled Composites and funded by Paul Allen of Vulcan Inc. This is the first privately funded, manned spacecraft to reach outer space. Now it's your turn to be a space entrepreneur! This Skill Level 3 rocket is a 1/15th scale rocket that has many preformed parts and an authentic decal set. When completed, the rocket stands 26 inches long and has a wingspan of 12.8 inches. This highly detailed model not only replicates the unique design of the full size winner, but also mimics its performance. When flown with Estes powerful E engines, this ultra large scale model can blast over 600 feet into the air and is recovered on a huge, 18 inch nylon preassembled parachute. Join the new space revolution and fly an authentic, scale replica of the $10 million winner of the Ansari X PRIZE! Estes engines are required and sold separately.
