Product Description
Estes Doorknob Model Rocket Kit
Standing over 27 in. tall with wood fins and powered by E and F engines the Doorknob can reach the maximum altitudes of 1100 ft. on an F15-6 Estes engine. The 18 in. nylon parachute creates a long, smooth recovery. An easier build than other pro series kits, the Doorknob is a great introduction to rocketeers looking to increase their building skills and practice using higher powered engines. As a bonus, this kit has two sets of decals available for those who want to turn this scale model into a sports model.
