The all new Pathfinder™ Launch Set offers two rockets in one package, which boosts perceived value and helps close sales on the floor. Clear messaging and an intuitive setup reduce post-purchase friction, and the reliable Estes ground equipment builds confidence for a successful first launch. The result is fewer returns, happier customers, and stronger word of mouth.

Engaging for First-Time Flyers

The straightforward build and stable flight profiles make Pathfinder™ ideal for newcomers. Customers can reach up to 1000 feet on a C6-5 engine and recover both rockets under parachute for repeat flights. Positive first experiences translate into future purchases across engines, accessories, and additional kits.

Reliable Gear, Trusted Brand

Porta-Pad® II and Electron Beam® are long-proven essentials that retailers and consumers recognize. Pairing these with two colorful rockets positions Pathfinder™ as a confident first choice that is easy to explain and easy to support. The Estes name reinforces quality and keeps your staff’s recommendation simple.

Repeat Business and Attach Opportunities

Pathfinder™ naturally drives attach sales. Engines, recovery wadding, starters, and AA batteries are required to fly and are sold separately. Position these items at checkout or with end-cap displays to increase basket size. After the first launch, customers return for more engines, which builds a healthy consumables cycle.

Seasonless Gift Appeal

From birthdays to holidays to weekend family projects, Pathfinder™ performs year-round. The box reads well on a shelf, photographs cleanly online, and promises a memorable experience that keeps customers coming back for more flights and more rockets.
