    Great looking kit

    Great looking kit. Looking forward to building and launching it with my grandkids kids.

    I keep a few of these around for quick fun builds. Great performance and really useful for test flights before the big rockets come out to play. They are light enough to determine wind direction at higher altitudes.

    Estes hi-flier

    The Hi-flier is a great set for beginners as it has easy instructions and is a very easy construction. The steamer recovery will be a nice thing to have when launch it.

    Excellent Deals-Excellent Rockets

    Excellent Deals & Rockets are always a good thing. I have moved to Pro and Mid-Power Rocket kits but I still enjoy the reliable and fun flights with the regular kits. The Hi-Flier is a great rocket to keep new rocketeers involved and enjoying the results of their efforts.
