Customer Reviews
Great beginners kit
This is a great starter kit. I am a 7th grade teacher and needed a launch pad and controller and this kit is actually a better deal than buying them separately...like getting two free rockets. I gave the two rockets to two other staff members and they loved them! Our rocket day went great and everything worked the way it should have.
advice for internationals
OOOOOOOOOOps ,, it was my mistake not reading the discription very well, i am from kuwait and i have account in a world wide delivery company (ARAMAX),, unfortunatly the supplies ( ex. engines ) are not available here in kuwait, well i have bought them from USA but i guess they would not let them get in airplane, or there must be a problem preventing these engines from comming here, therefor i have the rocket model now, my childeren are playing with it like any plastic toy
MY ADVICE for internationals, make sure first that your country has all the supplies you need in order to enjoy the rocket more and more
i can not mark how many stars because i did not try it
Great model rocketry starter kit
If you are interested in model rocketry, this is definitely the right place to start. This kit includes everything you need to send you rocket to the heavens, such as a complete launch pad system with launch controller, and two different rockets. The only things you have to supply are plastic cement, white glue, and the engines, which you can purchase at most hobby shops or sometimes your local WalMart. The best part of this kit is the fact that the rockets are two different skill levels so you can determine exactly how involved you wish to get into the model rocketry hobby. The larger "Amazon" rocket is skill level E2X, which only requires glueing a few pieces together and slapping on the decals. The smaller Crossfire ISX is skill level 1, which requires a little bit work to put together and you have to paint it yourself. This set is perfect for both adults looking to get into the hobby and children/teens with the appropriate adult supervision.
