Good lines and good bones on this one!

The Optima Pro is a good-looking rocket that has all the parts required to get it airborne, but probably not the parts you'd really like for a rocket of this size. In addition to the basic airframe, this builder recommends you get a couple 1010 rail buttons (and invest in the rail launcher if you haven't already), and aramid cord to replace the included shock cords. About 2.5"x40= 100" should be about right. Then it will be ready to fly on higher-power composite rocket motors.

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!
