Glad they made it safe

Glad they made it safe, the box was pretty rough but the tubes were great. Just recently started getting back into the hobby, been a while. Have put together quite a few kits and I’m starting to get back into building from scratch. Grandkids love them also.

Neat little mini rockets

Estes makes a quality tube. I use these to make the 13mm engine mounts and build some neat little mini rockets!

Replacement tubes.

Another thank you to the folks at Estes support and customer service. I received a rocket kit that had damaged tubes (in shipment). My report to customer service was answered within a day and the replacement tubes were shipped right away. Very pleased!
