Estes Mean Machine Model Rocket Kit Description:
The Mean Machine stands over a staggering 6 foot (2 m) tall, which can
be a handful to transport to the launch site. The clever rocket
designers at Estes recognized this problem and developed a unique,
twist lock connector set that allows you to take your rocket apart in
the middle for easy transport to and from the launch field.
This legendary rocket is a Skill Level 2 kit which can be assembled and
painted in just about a day. The complete kit includes four matching
body tubes, a molded plastic twist lock connector set, laser cut balsa
fins, sleek molded plastic nose cone and a distinctive waterslide
decal. The high performance rocket can be flown on our powerful E or D
engines with the included engine spacer. When flown on our powerful E
engine, the rocket can reach launch heights well over 900 feet (274 m)
and is easily recovered by a colorful 24 inch (61 cm) preassembled
parachute.
This rocket kit is another of the favorite classics that no model
rocket enthusiast should be without! With the twist connector system,
transporting this high performance giant is super easy. As the name
implies, the Mean Machine is a huge rocket with attitude and
performance to match! Get yours today and fly it tomorrow!
