Estes 810 220 Swift Flying Model Rocket Kit,Brown/Adult

The Estes 220 Swift is a super high performance, mini engine powered rocket that really knows how to rip through the sky. This little devil is a perfect example of the saying "great things come in small packages." Measuring in at an ultra-tiny 4.5 inches (11.4 cm), the mini Skill Level 1 rocket is as sleek as they come and can reach amazing launch heights of 850 feet (259 m) when used with our economical mini engines.

Rocketeers aged 10 and up can enjoy high-altitude thrills, with adult supervision for children under 12. The 220 Swift is easy to build and finish, having just 10 parts, including wood fins for precision performance, a plastic nose cone for durability, and cool black and white, easy-to-apply, self-stick decals. No worries about packing the parachute, as this high-performance mini rocket safely tumbles back to earth after every launch.

Adding to your growing fleet of rockets? Check out this "itty-bitty" high-flying favorite, the Quark Skill Level 1 Model Rocket Kit. Blast off to learning fun with the 220 Swift, as rocketry has significant educational value. Model rockets transform kids into amateur rocket scientists, encouraging them to think about how the rockets work. Rocket building teaches the basics of propulsion, flight, and aerodynamics, and can help foster an early interest in science and engineering.

Some painting, gluing, and sanding are required for the 220 Swift, but the quality Estes body tubes, laser-cut wood fins, molded plastic nose cone, and self-stick decals make for an afternoon of building enjoyment with this Skill Level 1 kit. The 220 Swift requires an Estes Launch System and Estes engines for the launch (not included). ¼ A3-2T, ½ A3-4T, A3-4T, or A10-3T engines are suggested for all missions.

In order to launch, a launch system, model rocket engines, igniters, recovery wadding, and four 'AA' alkaline batteries are required – sold separately unless otherwise specified. Read all instructions before beginning, and make sure you have all parts and supplies required. Test fit all parts before applying glue, and sand as necessary for precision assembly. Product color and shape may vary. When launching, stand back as far as the launch controller cord will allow (15 feet). Rocketry is not intended for indoor use. Choose a large field (500 feet), free of dry weeds and brown grass. Launch only with little or no wind and good visibility.

What's in the box? Estes body tubes, laser-cut wood fins, molded plastic nose cone, self-stick decals, and instructions. Requires some painting, gluing, and sanding for the end result of hours of fun!
