Estes Black Brant II Flying Model Rocket Kit | Advanced Level

The iconic black Brant II kit is making a grand comeback to the Estes line after a 20-year hiatus! This beloved model rocket now features the same classic design from the 1990s, but with a modern twist - laser-cut wood fins and plastic toothpicks. The black Brant II is one of the highest-flying model rockets in the Estes scale collection, offering an exhilarating flying experience.

To launch the black Brant II, you'll need (sold separately): the Estes porta-pad II launch pad with a launch controller, Estes model rocket engines, recovery wadding, and four high-quality AA alkaline batteries (not included). The thrill of building your own fully functional, flying model rocket is unparalleled, making this an excellent choice for both new and experienced rocketeers.

Estes rocket kits are designed to cater to budding scientists and engineers, providing an opportunity to learn about high-flying space vehicles. The black Brant II kit is recommended for rocketeers with intermediate skills or above, as it requires more extensive modeling experience, including larger engine sizes and an advanced recovery system.

The recommended engines for the black Brant II (not included) are the D-12-5 and D12-7, which will propel the rocket to an impressive projected altitude of 1,300 feet (396 meters) on a D12-7 engine. The estimated assembly time for this kit is 4 hours, not including the painting and glue drying time.

The launch system for the black Brant II includes the porta-pad II launch pad with a 3/16" Maxi rod (sold separately) and an E launch controller. This rocket kit is suitable for both boys and girls ages 10 and up, with adult supervision recommended for those under 12 years old. Rocketeers of all ages can enjoy the thrill of assembling and launching this impressive model rocket.
