Review

T' Star Orbiter is one o' t' Pro Series II rockets from Estes.   It is about 46" long, shiver me timbers, 5.9 oz, and uses E or F engines. Avast, me proud beauty!

Estes Helicat (Kit)

Review

T' rocket is cool with t' heli blades, but it is too heavy.   If you want it t' go higher, you need t' swap out t' blades for a parachute (but some may think you are removin' t' personality o' t' rocket).   My son wanted higher so we took them out. Ya scallywag!   We put in a 12" ... [More]

Estes Helicat

Flight

Removed t' helicopter blades t' lighten it. Avast! Put in a 12" parachute instead.   First flight was a b6-4 which sent it up over 200ft. It floated down slowly about 50 ft from where it took off. Well, blow me down! Great rocket for young kids. - B6-4 - small neighborhood field [More]
