The Estes Illusion rocket's sleek design creates the illusion of motion even when still. Moreover, its stylish swept back fins, long bright red body, and distinctive jet-fighter style nosecone all contribute to its dynamic look.

Damaged package

I purchased a rocket online, and the package was delivered damaged. I went to the Estes website, gave the information they required and within a very short amount of time was contacted by email and I gave them additional information and Estes Promptly contact me again by email and sent me a brand new rocket. Outstanding service I definitely would recommend.

Great for beginners

This rocket is great for beginner rocketeers. Some very easy assembly only takes a few minutes to attach the fins and the rest of the model. This is an easy step up from the rockets that are ready to launch out of the package. Maybe even give the beginner enough courage to try an intermediate model next time.
