Product Description
Estes Mean Machine Rocket Kit, Skill Level 2
The Mean Machine, standing almost 80 inches tall, is one TALL rocket, and to make transport to the launch field easier, the clever rocket designers developed a unique twist lock connector set that allows you to take your rocket apart right in the middle!
This legendary rocket is a Skill Level 2 kit, and has been one of the highly requested "bring backs". This high performance rocket can be flown on powerful E engines or D engines with the included engine spacer, and can top out at about 700 feet. A colorful 24 inch pre-assembled parachute is included for recovery. This rocket kit is another of the favorite classics that no model rocket enthusiast should be without!
