Description

Estes Taser set with everything you need including the motors!

Getting started in rocketry couldn't be easier... This Taser X Deluxe Starter Set is for people who want to build AND fly rockets. That being said, the kit goes together in under an hour with white glue and plastic cement or CA. The critical fin assembly is engineered for correct alignment so the hard part is done. Give the glue a half hour to set before you fly it, eh? ;-)

The Taser's 3-fin design allows this sleek, high flyer to soar up to 305m (1,000 feet) into the air with a C motor... but initial training flights can be kept closer to earth with smaller A or B motors. Performance on a "mere" A motor is still pretty amazing. The Riptide at 18 inches tall is an aerodynamic bullet full of features like:

  • Cool brightly coloured body tube
  • Moulded fins and bullet shaped nose cone
  • 17 inches tall or 43.2cm
  • Pre-assembled and ready for lift-off in just minutes
  • Included 3-pack of A8-3 Rocket motors (Most Taser starter sets don't include motors like ours!)
  • Included sufficient amount of suitable wadding for the 3l initial flights to protect your parachute (essential).
  • Batteries for launch controller included too!

3, 2, 1, lift off and rip through the sky with your own ready to fly Taser Launch Set!

The Taser rocket assembles in just minutes and requires Estes engines for the launch. Start with A8-3 engine for the first flight. Then, proceed with B6-4 for subsequent launches.

This set can reach cloud topping heights of 1100ft (335m) on Estes C6-7 engine using the Estes launch pad and launch controller. With all the parts you need for your launch included, just add the engines and you'll be ready for the launch site in less than an hour.  Requirements for this Ready-To-Fly (RTF) Taser Launch Set, which are sold separately, includes –

  • Building Tools and Construction Materials
  • Finishing Supplies
  • Estes A, B or C Engines

Aside from the excitement and entertainment the Taser Launch Set provides, an easy-to-assemble rocket instantly draws people in since the launch happens fast. Any rocket set from Estes, teaches kids the basics of propulsion, flight, and aerodynamics. And with an easy-to-assemble beginner rocket like Estes Taser 1491, kids of all ages get instantly encouraged to think about how rockets work and fly it themselves. One of our most popular kits of all time!
