Estes Flying Model Rocket Kit Pro Vogel EST 9728
A True Challenge for Experienced Builders
The Vogel is a towering 64.5-inch two-stage model rocket designed for expert rocketeers looking to push their skills to the next level. Named after the German word for "bird," this rocket embodies both power and grace as it soars skyward.
With a sleek, aerodynamic design and precision-engineered components, the Vogel is an impressive build that offers a rewarding construction experience. Featuring laser-cut fins, durable body tubes, and high-quality parts, this rocket is built to stand out on the launch pad and in flight.
High-Powered, High-Altitude Performance
Capable of reaching an astonishing 2,000 feet, the Vogel is built for high-powered launches. The two-stage booster system ensures a dramatic, high-flying experience as it ignites its second stage in mid-flight, delivering maximum altitude and efficiency. Compatible with a range of D, E, and F engines, it delivers exhilarating two-stage flights that showcase its impressive speed and stability. Whether launching solo or as part of a club event, this rocket is designed to impress.
Advanced Two-Stage Design
The Vogel is designed for rocketeers who crave complexity and precision, offering a challenging yet satisfying build. The booster stage detaches mid-flight, allowing the upper stage to continue soaring to extreme altitudes. This advanced staging system is perfect for hobbyists looking to master multi-stage flight techniques, providing an authentic rocketry experience that mirrors real-world space exploration.
Durable Construction & Smooth Recovery
Equipped with two nylon parachutes, the Vogel ensures safe and controlled descents for both stages. An 18-inch parachute recovers the upper stage, while a 15-inch parachute brings the booster back to the ground. Its precision-cut components and sturdy body tubes make for a robust rocket that can withstand multiple flights. The reliable recovery system allows for repeat launches and experimentation with various engine configurations.
The Ultimate Addition to Your Fleet
The Vogel isn’t just a rocket—it’s a challenge, an experience, and a statement. With its bold red, black, and yellow color scheme, it commands attention both on the ground and in the sky. Whether you’re looking to refine your staging techniques, push the boundaries of high-altitude rocketry, or simply experience the thrill of a high-performance model, the Vogel is a must-have for any serious rocketeer.
