Estes 2183 Shuttle Xpress Model Rocket Kit Description:
A NASA type rocket with boost gliders - what a winning combination! The
Estes Shuttle Xpress is a new wave of fighter glider technology that
carries two gliding fighter shuttles to the skies. The authentic
booster rocket features a jet fighter look with plenty of scale detail
and aerodynamic stability. The two shuttle fighters attach to the side
of the booster and represent state of the art in stealth glider
technology.
After launching on a standard C engine, this powerful rocket
can soar to over 575 feet (175 m), where the fighters are deployed and
can cruise for up to 200 feet (61 m). After the fighters separate, the
booster floats gently down on a bright 12 inch (30 cm) preassembled
parachute, ready for another exciting search and destroy mission!
The Shuttle Xpress is from our E2X (Easy to Assemble) series, which
requires no painting and is easy to assemble in about an hour. Special
features of this kit are the decorated body tube, molded fin set,
molded cockpit nose cone, two foam molded fighters and easy to apply
self-stick decals. Take command today of your own high altitude fighter
