The Flash starter set from Estes includes everything you need to get flying with model rocketry.
The set includes:
1x Flash rocket
1x Estes Porta-Pad II launch pad
1x Estes Electron Beam II launch controller with batteries (included)
3 x A8-3 motors for 3 flights
3 x Electric igniters
Estes wadding
All that is needed to get this Deluxe Starter Set built in under an hour is included save a few basic modelling tools.
This Flash Deluxe Starter Set is for people who want to build AND fly rockets. That being said, the kit goes together in well under an hour with NO glue or plastic cement. The critical fin assembly is engineered for correct alignment so the hard part is done. You can fly as soon as you get the Launch Pad legs clipped in place and the battery in the Launch Controller.
Building your own rocket adds a certain edge... and you have much larger bragging rights at the end of your successful flights! All the rocket science was done on the drawing board and not your dining room table!
The Flash's 3-fin design allows this sleek, high flyer to soar up to 1,000 feet into the air with a C motor... but initial training flights can be kept closer to earth with smaller motors. Performance on a "mere" A motor is still pretty amazing! And you might just lose it with a Klima D9 on board!
This E2X skill level kit is VERY easy to assemble - a half hour's work, max, under normal circumstances, eg. on your dining table. Longer is required if done outside in the rain, wearing mittens ;-)
No painting is required thanks to the pre-coloured parts. Snap together and apply the decals, and you're ready to blast off. In standard trim, the Flash recovers on a colourful and pre-assembled 12 inch plastic parachute and is ready to fly again in minutes.
Recommended motors:
A6-4
A8-3 (3 included)
A8-5
B4-4
B6-4
B6-6

Note: Model rocketry is recommended for ages 10 and up with adult supervision for those under 12. Unless otherwise specified, all models require assembly. Tools, construction and finishing supplies sold separately. In order to launch, a launch system, model rocket engines, igniters and recovery wadding are required - sold separately-unless otherwise specified.
