Optima Pro

I was regretting having not purchased this model when it was first available years ago, I was looking at aftermarket (clone) kits online when I saw Estes was making them again, this time with an appropriately sized motor! I appreciate the improvements over the old kit, and hope to complete it soon. Thank you!

Which specification on length is correct?

It says more than once in the description that it is almost 3 feet tall yet in the specification sections it states that it is 48 inches tall which one is correct?

Hi there! Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We apologize for any confusion caused by the conflicting information. The Optima Pro is 48.5 inches tall. We hope this clarifies things for you, and we've updated the description with the correct length. Please let us know if you have any further questions. Thank you!
