Looks like fun. Two engine cluster, first clustered model in a long while.
I may pick one up (sooner or later).
Gives me a chance to use my stash of Q2G2 igniters.

WHAT YOU NEED TO LAUNCH (sold separately): Estes Porta-Pad II Launch Pad with a 1/8 inch launch rod and Pro Series II Launch Controller, Estes model rocket engines, starters and recovery wadding. Four 1.5V high quality AA alkaline batteries are also required for launch controller (not included).



Gonna be some disappointment here

This is a kit, not a launch set. Most of us have the required launch hardware already.

The point is this: This is the first clustered kit Estes has offered in awhile. Someone buying the kit for the first time and then following the recommendations is going to use 6 volts to light the cluster. He or she is going to have a launch failures. Not all of Estes' buyers or BARs or geezers

Yeah, there is a typo in the recommendations. Pro Series launch controller is recommended, but that uses 6 "C" batteries, not 4 "AA" batteries. Also 9 v. is what I consider to be marginal, I would go with 12v. minimum. And with plenty of amperage. Maybe a PS II controller using the external connector to a 12 v. source.

If YOU need all of that to launch this rocket , well I guess that would be disappointing
