    I haven't assembled it yet but I'm eager to start

    I haven't assembled it yet but I'm eager to start. I've assembled many Estes rockets since the 1960s and have enjoyed every minute.

    Fun Rocket

    Built one before when my kids were in elementary school. Now building it again with my grandson. . This is a fun rocket. Straight forward build. Good size to the final rocket. Flys well. Used Candy Apple Red spray paint which really popped.
