Overview

Two is better than one with this Tandem-X Launch Set! This duo features two extreme, high-performance rockets and a powerful beast of a launch system.

Designed with plastic fins, the beginner rocket Amazon stands at 30 inches tall and can be built in an hour. Launching from an Estes standard model 18 mm rocket engine C6-5, this giant can reach heights over 600 ft.

Crossfire ISX, on the other hand, is an Intermediate-level rocket that features a totally streamlined shape with aerodynamic fins and nose cone. At 15.6 inches tall and launched with Estes 18mm rocket engine C6-7, the Crossfire ISX reaches cloud busting heights of 1,150 feet. A 12-inch recovery parachute glides gently in mid-air and returns the Crossfire back to earth to launch again and again.

Both bullets of this Estes Tandem-X Launch Set take off from the sturdy Porta-Pad II Launch Pad by push button command from the Electron Beam controller.

Este rockets are an amazing fun product...great play for kids and us bigger adult kids.

Started the New year 2024 in calm sunny conditions on grass field at the school...first rocket 600' up and landed 200' north...adjusted trajectory and second rocket launch landed 700' south in field...adjusted again and 3rd launch 1200' up landed 20' from launch site...yes we got lucky and got the video!...6 and 8 year old grandsons did all the launch button pushing and some retrieving...was awesome...get a set...grab some friends and launch some rockets ! have some fun...we had a blast !...quality fun product at a great price !

Amazing launch set!

Very happy with my purchase, I got this for the launch pad because i needed a new one. The rockets in this launch set are perfect for a beginners to assemble or nice for launching when you don’t wanna launch your shelf queens. The Amazon rocket can be assembled very quickly and launched in one day, just a little glue drying time. The Crossfire requires a little more time if you want to let the wood glue cure properly and paint it. Crossfire is a good first rocket. This kit is perfect if you have kids or like me you’re getting back into the hobby after years. Very happy to get back into model rocketry.
