Looking for a classic Estes rocket kit with a modern twist? Look no further than the Tazz Estes rocket! This kit has been re-imagined with a specially designed engine mount featuring two molded tabs that keep the wing elevators in the flat position during boost for smooth flights, and then move them into the full "up" position at apogee for thrilling spins on the way down.

With balsa wings and alignment tabs that fit into pre-cut slots, aligning the wings is a breeze during assembly and after the glue dries, providing a strong wing-to-tube glue joint. Plus, the molded plastic retainers make installing and replacing the elevator actuator rubber bands a breeze.

You'll have a blast watching the Tazz Estes rocket spin wildly on its way down, with countless spins to count. Get ready for lots of fun flights with this classic Estes kit re-imagined!

Overview

A classic Estes kit re-imagined.

The specially designed engine mount has two molded tabs. These tabs hold the wing elevators in the flat position during boost for nice straight-up flights. Then at apogee, the ejection charge kicks the engine mount out and “snap”, the two elevators move into the full “up” position and TAZZ Estes rocket spins wildly on the way down!

Larger than the 1960's "Gyroc" kit, this rocket model has balsa wings with alignment tabs that fit into pre-cut slots. This makes aligning the wings much easier during assembly and after the glue is dry. Moreover, you also get a strong wing-to-tube glue joint.

The clever molded plastic retainers make installing and replacing the elevator actuator rubber bands very easy.

You can’t count the number of spins this Tazz Estes rocket will make on the way down. What you can do is counting on it for lots of fun flights!

Interesting take on the spin recovery method.

Tazz was a fairly easy build. One deviation from the instructions I took was applying hinge tape 'L" to the fins before I removed the fins from the sheet. I also wondered about the gluing in of the Hooks and Locks thinking if I broke one it would be easier to replace if it were not glued and relied on the retainer clip. In the end I yellow glued it all to keep it in place but easy to replace.

I'll update on Launch day.

Tazz is a fun rocket.

This is a fun launch. It flys well and the twisting recovery is fun to watch. We try to guess how close it will land. Tazz is a cloud pleaser. The best part is that you do not have to chase it very far.

Takes me back

We built and flew the Gyroc years ago. This updates takes me back to when I was a kid. I recommending waiting to tape on the fins until after painting.
