2016-10-30Estes Star Orbiter (Kit)  Review
The Star Orbiter is one of the Pro Series II rockets from Estes. It is about 46" long, 5.9 oz, and uses E or F engines.

That is cheaper than many low power ... [More]

I wanted a larger rocket that could shoot D & E engines to go around 1000 feet so I got this one. It is an extremely fast build and fun to fly. The E12 shoots it over 1100 feet!

My son wanted higher so we took them out. We put in a 12" ... [More]

2015-01-21Estes Show Stopper (Kit) Review
Simple kit to build with just a few steps to get to the field. My son put this together himself.

2010-12-28Estes Helicat Flight Removed the helicopter blades to lighten it. Put in a 12" parachute instead. First flight was a b6-4 which sent it up over 200ft. It floated down slowly about 50 ft from where it took off. Great rocket for young kids. - B6-4 - small neighborhood field [More]
