{"product_id":"firecrest","title":"Firecrest™","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA Great First Step Into Model Rocketry\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Firecrest™ gives new rocketeers everything they need from a first model rocket experience: an approachable build, an exciting flight, and a recovery that is easy to follow. Its compact size and simple construction help make the process feel manageable from the moment you open the package, while still delivering the hands-on satisfaction of building and flying a real Estes model rocket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt 9.5 inches tall and weighing just 0.52 ounces, the Firecrest is easy to handle at the workbench and on the launch field. It is an inviting option for kids, families, and new hobbyists who want to get started without taking on an overly complicated first project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSimple Construction, Real Building Satisfaction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMolded plastic fins help make the Firecrest easier to assemble while adding durability to a part of the rocket that often sees plenty of action. That simplified construction keeps the focus on the most rewarding parts of the hobby: putting the rocket together, getting it onto the launch pad, and seeing your own work take flight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a beginner-friendly model rocket that feels accessible without taking away the pride that comes from building it yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWatch the Entire Flight From Liftoff to Recovery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePowered by an Estes 1\/4A3-3T engine, the Firecrest can reach a projected maximum altitude of 125 feet. That lower-altitude performance keeps the rocket comfortably visible throughout the flight, making it easier for new flyers to watch what happens from ignition to peak altitude and recovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor first-time rocketeers, that can make launch day even more rewarding. You get the sound, motion, and excitement of liftoff without sending the rocket so high that it becomes difficult to track.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEasy Recovery Means More Launch-Day Fun\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Firecrest uses a streamer recovery system that keeps descent quick, simple, and easy to follow. Once the rocket is back on the ground, you can recover it, prepare it for another flight, and get back to the countdown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor launch, use an Estes 1\/4A3-3T engine and a Porta-Pad II launch system. With a projected maximum altitude of 125 feet and a compact, lightweight design, the Firecrest is an excellent choice for beginners who want an exciting introduction to Estes model rocketry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Estes Rockets","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53675640815921,"sku":"000640","price":8.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/0220\/0369\/files\/000640-Firecrest-Model-Rocket-Kit.png?v=1775658620","url":"https:\/\/estesrockets.com\/es\/products\/firecrest","provider":"Estes Rockets","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
