Estes Neon Tiger Flying Model Rocket Kit 7298 | Easy to Build Beginner Kit, Multi

Keep your eyes on the Estes Neon Tiger – you’ve never seen a rocket quite like this! Easy to assemble and simple to launch, this brilliant green and white, Beginner-Level rocket sports a detachable ring glider for spectacular lift-offs and recoveries. Launch this rocket from a standard Estes launch pad and watch as the scoop-shaped, tiger-striped flyer falls away at apogee and glides smoothly back to Earth for a gentle landing. The host rocket, meanwhile, floats gently home on its own 15-inch parachute to complete the amazing dual recovery. Rocketry newcomers will love this easy to build, quick to launch kit. No painting or sanding required – you’ll be flying in no time! Experienced rocketeers will appreciate the precision construction and unique flight performance of this one-of-a-kind rocket and ring glider set. The colorful and spectacular 24-inch long Neon Tiger rocket features an extended nose cone, a large and colorful stick-on decal, a quick-build fin can with glider attachment points, and a plastic threaded engine mount for quick flight prep. The detachable glider is constructed from a plastic ring and pre-printed yellow and black, tiger striped card stock. The Neon Tiger can easily reach 500 feet on the recommended Estes C6-3 engine – that’s plenty of altitude before the attached flyer is released at the peak of flight for a long, smooth glider flight and landing. You can even trim the glider’s curved airfoil for longer, more stable flights with slight adjustments to the card stock “scoop. ” Best of all, the Neon Tiger rocket and glider can be recovered, reattached to the host rocket, and prepped for a new flight over and over again. There’s no end to the fun and excitement in store with this rocket and glider combo. The Estes Neon Tiger is sure to be a favorite for rocket fans of all ages!
