How high will a High-Flier go? The answer is OUTTA SIGHT!! No one knows for sure. Or maybe you do?
The Estes Hi-Flier is an ultra high performance model rocket with tons of attitude. Be sure and keep your eye on this stream-lined missile as it climbs to amazing heights over 1,500 feet, (OK we told you) and recovers with a fluorescent orange streamer. Watch it climb and climb and climb and…well, you get the idea!
WHAT YOU NEED TO BUILD: Scissors, pencil, ruler,fine sandpaper, carpenter’s glue, plastic cement, hobby knife, masking tape, silver 1/32 inch pin stripe tape or silver paint, primer (white), paint (black, gray, red) and clear coat (optional). (Tools, construction and finishing supplies not included.)
WHAT YOU NEED TO LAUNCH (sold separately): Estes Porta-Pad II Launch Pad with a 1/8 inch launch rod and Electron Beam Launch Controller, Estes model rocket engines, starters and recovery wadding. Four 1.5V high quality AA alkaline batteries are also required for launch controller (not included).

Lives up to its name
We built the Hi-Flier with my son and it’s one of his favorite rockets to fly. It leaps off the pad even with an A engine and always delivers great flights.

a fun kit
I am very glad I ordered this kit. It was just a fun rocket to assemble and reminded me of when I did assemble them as a youngster. It was easy to follow the instructions and no part of the kit gave me a challenge. The assembly was quick other then the glue drying. I haven’t painted it, but that should be an easy process and it should also be incredibly fun to fly it!
