Whether you're a beginner or an expert, this two for one kit is the perfect choice for thrilling model rocket action. The Estes Launchables Starter Set is a complete starter set that includes two exciting model rockets, the Black Diamond and the Astron Outlaw. The Black Diamond streaks over 1400 feet and the Astron Outlaw is almost two feet tall! The Black Diamond is a high flying, Skill Level 1 kit that requires a slightly higher level of modeling skills. It couldn't look any cooler with the suggested black and red design. With laser cut balsa fins, single piece body tube and self-stick decals, this cloud busting rocket can be ready to fly in just a few hours. The Astron Outlaw is an E2X (Easy to Assemble) rocket that is easy to build and can be ready in about an hour. With a chromed fin set and nose cone, the Outlaw is really easy to spot on the launch pad and in the air. Recovery is with the help of a brightly colored 12 inch parachute. An Estes launch pad, launch controller and engines are included. Glue, plastic model cement, paint and four AA alkaline batteries for the launch controller required - sold separately.

The ready to fly rocket already has 10 + launches on it. Very durable and sharp looking. Haven't flown the Black Diamond yet but was very easy to assemble. Launch pad and launcher work great and are durable as well. I highly recommend as a first kit.

This is perfect if you want to get into model rocketry. Before I got this kit I didn't know anything about model rockets. I'm looking to have some fun with my daughter and to sit at a desk and relax and build rockets. All you really need is the glue and some free time.

Purchased E2X rocket set for my son and me, we had the first rocket ready to fly within two hours. Rocket performed better than we could have expected, launched the rocket over 10 times without an issue, ran out engines. Launching pad and second rocket were also easy to put toegther, overall a great set.

Good kit, has everything you need to get into model rockets (get a couple more engines so you have more launches the first time you're out).

Frustrated by the limited selection in local stores, I bought this as a gift for my grandson. It was enjoyed by the entire family.
Results are predictable and reliable.
