Estes 1441 Journey Launch Set Beginner Model Kit for Ages 10+ Includes Complete Launch Set Soars Up to 1,100 ft.

I bought this mostly for the controller and the base, but the included rocket is a nice touch and would make this a good kit for a gift (though rocket engines and wadding are not included).First, the base. This is a simple rocket accessory, but it works great, costs little, and sets up fast.The base is plenty sturdy enough for small and medium sized rocket kits being launched from a fairly level surface, like a park field. The angle is easy to adjust so that the rocket launches straight.The controller is a simple, one button controller with a safety key to prevent accidental launch. The wires are long enough to put enough distance between you and rocket for safety.The rocket itself worked well. Using the largest recommended engines I would estimate that it hit around 1000 ft. We launched it 3 or 4 times, along with other rockets using the same pad and controller, and it launched perfectly every time, flew as straight as the wind would let it, and deployed the parachute each time for a safe, recoverable landing with no damage.

Purchased through the Estes store. The launch pad and igniter work great, the rocket was super easy to put together. This is exactly the starter kit I was looking for. Some things to note: This kit does not come with rocket engines or wadding. The smaller 1/8" launch rod is included with the launch kit. It doesn't come with a storage/transport box like back in the day.

Cool hobby.

Value was great, but the durability was a little off. It was hard fitting some pieces together, which which made functionality a little frustrating. It was fun all together, especially at launch.

I did these with my dad and now I’m doing them with my grandkids. This kit is a great starter set.

Perfect starter kit for the grandkids

Grandkids love it

Dañado por el exterior pero parese dentro está bien
