    expensive for value

    body not only requires engine (not included) but it wasn't even intuitive on what a grandparent would order. recommend y'all sell a kit and make it easy to find on your site. also consider adding an age group for the kit. 2 of the 3 grandsons already make their rockets unusable before we can even order the right engines, etc.

    Problems with fin install

    I bought this for my grandaughter because she said "it has dragons on it" Well, it was an ok assemble until we got to the fins. The fin attachment tabs were all bent at about 35 degrees. I tried to straighten out the tabs, but they cracked and broke off. So we built something else instead, a Wacky Wiggler I think, and this one went on the repair pile.

    We apologize that your experience was not what you had hoped for. We value your input and would like to learn more about what went wrong. Please contact us at service@estesrockets.com so we can better understand the situation and work toward a solution.
