  • INTERMEDIATE MODEL-ROCKET-BUILDING KIT: The Hi-Flier rocket-building Kit offers kids ages 10+ and rocketeer enthusiasts stepping up from beginner kits or adding a classic high-altitude rocket to build and launch a sleek model. It includes a durable body tube, a molded nose cone, laser-cut balsa fins, decals, and a parachute. It requires Estes rocket engines, Starters, Recovery Wadding, a launch pad system, and 4 high-quality 1.5-volt AA alkaline batteries for launch use (sold separately).
  • SOARS UP TO 1,500 FT.: Our Hi-Flier delivers an unforgettable experience from assembly to recovery with a projected altitude of 1,500 ft. (457 m) using a C6-7 Estes rocket engine (sold separately). It is also compatible with 1/2A6-2, A8-3, A8-5, B4-4, B6-4, B6-6, and C6-5 rocket engines.

  • SAFETY FIRST, FUN ALWAYS: Our rockets and rocket launch accessories are designed to be used with the NAR (National Association of Rocketry) model-rocket safety code. Always ensure you have an appropriate launch site, stand back at least 15 ft., insert the safety key, issue a countdown, and then you can let your rocket fly!
