Estes Gryphon Flying Model Rocket Kit

Don’t underestimate the slim, yet stately design of the Gryphon, built to protect. Standing 18 inches tall with a slender diameter measuring just over 0.5 inches, the sleek sports rocket is strong enough to support the six-inch wingspan of its stealthy cargo, a glider.

Build your own fully functional, FLYING model rocket with Estes rocket kits. Nothing compares to the thrill, whether it’s a new favorite pass-time or for budding scientists and engineers, these kits help kids and adults learn about high-flying space vehicles.

Rocketeers with at least one Beginner rocket under their belt will enjoy the extra challenge of building and finishing this Intermediate kit from scratch. Includes easy and user-friendly instructions to follow. Recommended engines (not included) are A3-4T, 1/2 A3-2T, A10-3T.

The Gryphon is compatible with the Porta-Pad II Launch Pad and Electron Beam Launch Controller, or any launch system that can support a 1/8 in. launch rod. It is recommended for boys and girls ages 10+ with adult supervision for those under 12, and rocketeers of all ages. Projected altitude is 700 ft. (213 m) on a A10-3T, and estimated assembly time is 2 hours (painting and glue drying time not included).
