My wife was out shoppin' at Toys 'R' Us with her Godchildren and bein' t' good wife that she is picked up a rocket for me. Begad! She let t' Godchildren pick it and I received an Estes 'Prowler'. I was impressed with t' rocket selection power o' t' girls age 5 and 7.
T' Prowler is a Beta (beginner) series rocket. Avast, me proud beauty! Aye aye! It is a large rocket and a basic 3FNC design.
This kit was packaged in plastic and came in a box and was probably around $12.99. Ya scallywag! All t' parts were included and none were damaged. Ahoy! T' instructions were typical Estes and were excellent. T' kit's uniqueness be t' Glow-in-the-Dark decals. Aye aye! It is strongly noted on t' Estes box and instructions that this rocket is NOT t' be launched at night. Avast! Blimey! T' decals are for display purposes only. Begad! Who thought this up.... Beavis? T' kit contains plastic Estes chute, balsa fins and plastic nose cone and body tube section transition rings, along with all t' other standard Estes hardware.
T' size o' this rocket is impressive (for me at least) over 3 ft, but t' power was not. Maximum C engine power with t' package mount. Blimey! Ahoy! Blimey! I

The recovery system and ...
