FeaturesBlaze up the sky with a swift, bright light - the Solar Flare! This flashy, two-stage rocket launch set is sure to be the buzz of rocket enthusiasts everywhere, so why not be among the first to own one. The two stage rocket stands over 28 inches tall. Its innovative ring design makes this rocket a one of a kind on any launch pad. The Solar Flare rocket kit features laser cut balsa fins, high quality body tubes, clear payload section and a plastic nose cone for a straightforward assembly. The B or C powered booster stage has a tapered look and makes this rocket look like an intergalactic researcher. In addition to a two stage rocket, you can fly the upper stage on an A10 mini engine without the booster. You're actually getting two extremely cool rockets in one complete launch set! This rocket features two different styles of recovery, tumble (for the booster stage) and a 12 inch preassembled parachute for the upper stage. It flies almost 800 feet high using Estes' booster and/or mini engines. Launch your payload experiments with a flare! 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 a day. First tier of more advanced kits that require beginner skills in model rocket construction, finishing and painting. Features laser cut balsa fins, plastic or balsa nose cones, self-stick or waterslide decals, unfinished body tubes and step-by-step instructions. 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.
