ESTES Tandem -X Intermediate Rocket Launch Set 2pcs - EST-1469XX

Big value and even bigger fun! The Tandem-X Launch Set includes the impressive, easy-to-assemble Amazon rocket (over 29 in. tall!) and the high-performance Crossfire ISX rocket. The Amazon builds quick with pre-colored plastic parts and self-stick graphics. The Crossfire ISX is a perfect next-step to an Intermediate level model with laser cut wood fins and self-stick decals.

LAUNCH SYSTEM INCLUDED.

Two is better than one! This exceptional rocket set features a pair of extreme, high performance rockets and a launch system.

The Beginner level Amazon is as imposing as the name sounds. This giant stands almost 30 inches tall and is quick and easy to build! A black body tube, precolored plastic nose cone and fins and a tiger striped self-stick decals make building this rocket easy to do in about an hour. When flown on our Estes standard model rocket engines, this huge rocket can reach heights over 650 feet.

The Crossfire ISX is an Intermediate level kit that can easily be built in about a day. This rocket features a totally streamlined shape with aerodynamic fins and nose cone. It stands 15.6 inches tall. When launched with powerful Estes standard model rocket engines, this bullet can reach cloud busting heights up 1,150 feet. A 12 inch parachute returns the Crossfire back to earth to launch again and again.

LAUNCH SYSTEM includes Estes Porta-Pad II Launch Pad and Electron Beam Launch Controller.
