Let customers speak for us
I watched the original video before I even started building rockets with my nephew. This makes me want to build a mach rocket! 🚀 I have yet to build the kit, but it looks fantastic! The tubes feel beefy, the plywood fins are a great touch! If you have ever built a mid power engine, then this is a great kit. It reminds me of the leviathan kit.
These motors perform very good with no failures
These worked well and provided a good visual site for locating the RIPTIDE as it popped it's chute and drifted down for the next shot! We did use the highest number of sheets recommended for the C6-5 to achieve adequate protection for the chute and its components. After three launches there were only very slight scorch marks on the chute. Nothing to keep us from launching more IF we had brought more engines...
Perfect height and second stage extraction of the parachute. Lik these C6-5 for ease of use and consistent burn performance.
So it's been over 50 years since I sent a home made Estes rocket into the sky, never more to be seen... But today with my wife and grandson we got three great launches, each time adjusting the trajectory until on number three the RIPTIDE floated gently down to within 10 feet of the launch pad. My grandson now thinks that's how it's done. LOL. The kit was EASY to assemble and explain to a seven year old, as he spent a rabid 5 minutes on the phone explaining the WHOLE procedure to he folks when we got home. All parts wored as they should and we had a blast (off)! Now to the store for more engines. Even had a coach setting up gear in the field we were launching from jog by and mention how he loved rockets as a kid, HA.
This item along with a rocket and engines was a gift. The recipient was really excited about.
A great addition to any collection of Estes rockets!
The kit looks FABULOUS. Just as I remembered the kit of one I made back in the 1970s
