Estes Flying Model Rocket Kit Super Neon EST 7242
The Super Neon model rocket is a unique design that utilizes a space age multi tube fin design to provide great flight stability and a one of a kind look!
Original in shape and size as was done by Estes a decade ago, the new Super Neon has been retrofitted with parts made from the latest manufacturing processes such as laser cut balsa parts, injection molded nose cone, and Estes quality body tubes. The Super Neon lifts off into orbit on standard A, B or C Estes engines to heights reaching 1000 feet(305m), returning on dual 12" streamers for re-launch.
