Estes SpaceX Falcon 9 Flying Model Rocket

SpaceX Falcon 9 Model Rocket has its own unique story. On May 30, 2020, astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken climbed aboard their Dragon Crew spacecraft. These people did something no one had ever done before : they rode a reusable commercial rocket to orbit. Thus, it marked the beginning of the Next Space Age.

Until that moment, human space flight had always been the purview of nations. Launching objects and humans into space to 'slip the surly bonds' required more resources and expertise. Neither an individual nor a corporation could afford it. Space flight was expensive. Space flight was difficult. Space flight was a rare commodity. But not anymore. Now, finally, human space flight was attainable with Falcon 9 model rocket.

Revolutionary Invention - SpaceX Falcon 9 Model Rocket

This extraordinary two-stage launch vehicle, designed and manufactured by Space X, is able to safely lift more than 50,000 lbs into orbit. Remarkably, after a successful launch, the first stage returns to Earth for an upright, powered landing and a precision touchdown, ready to launch another payload into orbit. There’s never been anything else like it!

Now, Space X has collaborated with Estes to create a 1:100 scale launchable reproduction of the Falcon 9 rocket with its Dragon Crew spacecraft payload.

And just like the actual Falcon 9 it can be re-launched over and over again!

The fully assembled scale Falcon 9 is composed of molded plastic parts with silk-screened markings and comes ready to fly.

Show off your SpaceX Falcon 9 model rocket with the included custom display stand, or store in its specially designed collectable case.

Every launch of your Estes Falcon 9 rocket will be an event! Though it won’t reach orbit, you can expect launches up to 300 feet on a recommended Estes engine. Recovery is via 18-inch parachute – sorry, powered return to pad is not a model rocket recovery option at this time!

A fantastic model on display or in flight, this Estes and SpaceX Falcon 9 collaboration belongs in your collection today!

HUGE THANKS

First off, ive been designing and 3d printing a lot of model rockets recently, that incorporate a lot of Estes products! As I have been doing so, I have developed a rocket garden of my own. To say the least, this rocket has by far been one of the coolest additions to my collection by far! Not only that but the customer support that has assisted me in the use of this rocket has been terrific!!! So thank you to Estes and the crew for the attention to detail and the fine craftsmanship that has gone into this, as well as the help I have received for you all! Would 10/10 recommend

THANK YOU!!

I really appreciate y'all throwing in a pack of engines with the second Falcon 9 shipment taking care of the first shipment which ended up being a empty box.
I really love Estes since it has been a good part of my life ever since I was around 10 years old (I am 65 now) and learning to build rockets correctly.

Trusted Since 1958

From first launch to lifelong hobby, Estes stands behind every product and every customer.
