Solar Flare Estes Rockets

Blaze up the sky with a swift, bright light - the Solar Flare! This flashy, two-stage rocket launch set is sure to be the buzz of rocket enthusiasts everywhere, so why not be among the first to own one. This two stage rocket stands over 28 inches tall. Its innovative ring design makes this rocket a one of a kind on any launch pad.

The Solar Flare is a Skill Level 2 rocket kit that features laser cut wood fins, high quality body tubes, clear payload section and a plastic nose cone for a straightforward assembly. The B or C powered booster stage has a tapered look and makes this rocket look like an intergalactic researcher. In addition to a two stage rocket, you can fly the upper stage on an A10 mini engine without the booster. You're actually getting two extremely cool rockets in one kit.

This rocket features two different styles of recovery, tumble (for the booster stage) and a colorful 12 inch preassembled parachute for the upper stage. It flies almost 800 feet high using Estes' booster and/or mini engines. Launch your payload experiments with a flare!
