Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to buy separately to actually launch this rocket?
You'll need four AA alkaline batteries for the launch controller (not included) and model rocket engines, which are sold separately. The set includes three sample engines, but you'll need additional engines to keep flying after those are used up.
Is this suitable for beginners and kids?
Yes, it's Skill Level 1 with easy assembly designed for first-time flyers. It's recommended for ages 10+ with adult supervision for children under 12. Assembly takes about 1 hour, and you'll need basic tools like scissors, glue, and a hobby knife.
What engines can I use with this rocket?
The 18mm motor mount works with Estes standard model rocket engines including 1/2A6-2, A8-3, B4-4, B6-4, B6-6, C6-5, and C6-7. The set includes three engines to get started, and additional engines are sold separately.
How high will this rocket fly?
The rocket can reach a projected maximum altitude of 1,100 feet. The actual height depends on which engine you use and flight conditions.
What's included in the launch system?
The set includes the Estes Porta-Pad II Launch Pad and Electron Beam Launch Controller, so you have everything needed to launch—you just need to provide the batteries and engines.
How does the rocket come back down safely?
