Estes Flying Model Rocket Kit Mean Machine  1295

The Mean Machine standing almost 80 inches tall is one TALL rocket and to make transport to the launch field easier, the clever rocket designers developed a unique twist lock connector set that allows you to take your rocket apart right in the middle!

This legendary rocket is a Skill Level 2 kit and has been one of our highly requested bring backs and you've got it now! We've just updated the decor and think you will love it as much as we do! This high performance rocket can be flown on our powerful E engines or D engines with the included engine spacer and can top out at about 700 feet. A colorful 24 inch pre-assembled parachute is included for recovery. This rocket kit is another of the favorite classics that no model rocket enthusiast should be without!

    I have not yet built the rocket. Love the new graphics. balsa and airframe materials are very good. Twist lock assembly feature is nice of a long thin rocket. I always take a couple of E power Estes rockets to the high power launches I attend. I never use the included rubber band and plastic parachute. Just personal preference.
