Estes Flying Model Rocket Kit Mean Machine  1295
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 our highly requested bring backs and you've got it now! We've just updated the decor and think you will love it as much as we do! This high performance rocket can be flown on our powerful E engines or D engines with the included engine spacer and can top out at about 700 feet.
