Estes Flying Model Rocket Kit Double Ringer  EST 7279

Bright colors, quick assembly time and unique gliders make the Double Ringer a must-have, cool science kit. In 30 minutes or less, budding rocketeers can glue together the plastic fin unit and cut out the gliders. After the launch, the rocket returns to earth on its 15 inch parachute while the gliders descend gently back down to the ground.

What better way to get kids interested in rocket science than with the coolest, most colorful rocket in town! The Double Ringer, named after its unique gliders, is an easy-to-build beginner rocket . Once the fin unit is glued together and the main rocket is intact, a pair of scissors and a bit of glue is all that is needed to ready this rocket for the launch field.

Using an Estes Porta-Pad II launch system and powered by a C6-3 engine (both sold separately), this two-foot tall rocket can reach 500 feet in the air. Kids can easily retrieve the bright orange and yellow rocket parts and race back to the launch site for additional flights (and fun!).
