This product recommended for children ages 10+ with adult supervision for those under 12, and rocketeers of all ages.

Great starter rocket!

This was a first rocket for a 6-year old (with supervision!!) and it has been perfect. Flies well, not too high, and has ignited an interest in a young person. Great job Estes!

Just Right

Well designed, great style, excellent performance and pre assembled fins!

Riptide

Flew great never had to go far to retrieve, tried the biggest engine it took and did not disappoint. Very good beginner model and would make intermediate builders happy as well!
