Tercel Estes Rockets

The Tercel is an amazing boost glider! A great addition to any rocketeers collection, watch it soar over 700 feet high and glide gently back to Earth. This glider is able to soar for over a minute!

Another great glider from Estes!

The Tercel boost glider uses a high efficient elliptical plan form wing for outstanding glide performance. After a straight vertical boost to altitude the glider separates from the engine pod. While the pod descends under it's own 6 inch parachute the glider is free to roam the skies for a typical 60 second flight. As a bonus, a special wire stand off is included in each kit to hold the igniter clips in place for a worry free launch.
