Estes 1942 SR-71 Blackbird Model Rocket Kit Description:
Now you can build and fly the world's fastest manned jet with the Estes
SR-71 Blackbird flying model rocket kit. Building your own super sonic
jet...now that sounds cool! With its midnight black color it looks so
sleek you can't help but be impressed. Did we mention it is a replica
of the WORLD'S FASTEST JET! This is an absolute must own high
performance rocket.
The SR-71 Blackbird is a scale model that is 19 inches (48.3 cm) long
and includes authentic looking and highly detailed "Blackbird Skin",
plastic components (for durability), and water-slide decals to complete
the stealthy look. The detailed instructions allow you to construct a
flight-ready, very realistic SR-71 jet in just a few days. When flown
on our standard engines, the Blackbird can easily top out at over 600
feet (183 m), yet returns softly on a huge 18 inch (46 cm),
preassembled parachute.
Assembly required. Knowledge of building models is recommended. Glue,
finishing supplies and launch supplies required - sold separately.
