Estes Flying Model Rocket Kit Mini Goblin EST 2106
The Mini Goblin™ takes the unmistakable attitude of the classic Goblin and packs it into a compact 10 inch model rocket built for 13 mm mini engine power. With its bold yellow and black look and flights up to 400 feet, this little rocket proves you do not need a big airframe to make a big impression at the launch field.
Designed for intermediate builders, the Mini Goblin™ features laser cut balsa wood fins, streamer recovery, and a lightweight 1.1 ounce design for fast, exciting flights. Load it with a recommended 1/2A3-2T, A3-4T, or A10-3T engine and send this miniature classic skyward again and again.
Classic Goblin Attitude in a Mini Package
The Goblin has never been known for blending in, and the Mini Goblin™ keeps that personality alive at just 10 inches tall. Its bright yellow body, black nose cone, distinctive fin shape, and unmistakable Goblin graphics capture the look of the classic design in a smaller rocket made for 13 mm mini engines.
Compact on the workbench and impossible to ignore on the pad, the Mini Goblin delivers the kind of character that makes it an easy addition to any Estes collection.
Small Rocket, Fast Flights, Up to 400 Feet
At only 1.1 ounces, the Mini Goblin™ is built to make the most of mini engine power. Recommended 1/2A3-2T, A3-4T, and A10-3T engines give you multiple ways to fly, with the Mini Goblin capable of reaching a maximum altitude of 400 feet.
Its compact size makes every countdown feel quick and energetic. One moment it is sitting on the launch pad, the next it is streaking upward with the bold yellow and black profile of a Goblin that is much faster than its size suggests.
An Intermediate Build with Classic Model Rocket Appeal
The Mini Goblin™ is rated for intermediate builders and delivers a hands-on construction experience with laser cut balsa wood fins. Sand, assemble, finish, and detail your rocket to bring the classic Goblin styling to life before its first trip to the launch field.
Measuring 0.98 inches in diameter, the finished rocket has a sleek, compact profile that lets its oversized personality do the talking. It is a satisfying project for rocketeers ready to move beyond beginner kits while keeping the build approachable and the finished model easy to take along for launch day.
Streamer Recovery Keeps the Fun Moving
After reaching altitude, the Mini Goblin™ deploys its streamer recovery system for a lightweight descent back toward the field. Recover it, prepare it for another flight, and see what this miniature troublemaker can do on your next engine choice.
The Mini Goblin launches from a Porta-Pad® II. Whether you are a longtime Goblin fan or discovering the design for the first time, this compact model brings classic Estes style, mini engine performance, and plenty of launch day personality together in one unforgettable little rocket.
