Easy to construct and everything that was needed was in the kit. I haven't flow it yet.

Awesome starter rocket kit for kids interested in space
Picked this up for my son because he has been really into rockets and space lately, and this looks like it is going to be a blast to build and launch together. Packaging was clean, parts looked organized, and everything inside appeared complete and in good condition right out of the bag. -- I like that the instructions and labeling seem beginner friendly without feeling overly cheap or toy like. The rocket itself actually looks pretty sharp once assembled and feels like a real hobby kit instead of a throwaway project. Definitely something that feels exciting for a kid to work on with a parent. -- One thing worth noting is that the launch components and engine are not included, so make sure to read the packaging before buying if this is your first model rocket kit. Not a dealbreaker for me since it clearly says it on the package, but something to plan for ahead of time. -- Overall, this seems like a really solid introduction into model rockets and STEM type hobbies. Looking forward to building it with my kid and launching it soon. Feels like one of those memories that sticks with you. Fit and size is all expected and normal. Smaller rocket, nothing crazy, but good to go size/shape wise. ALL IN ALL HAPPY! Perfect intro that hopefully will make him into a rocket scientist!! Or just give him a fun hobby... ;) - Have a great day, hope this review helps with your purchase!

Good Starter Kit for First-Time Rocketeers!
Haven't tested yet as it is a Christmas present for my boys. But from the other reviews, it seems like it was worth it to buy as a starter kit. I also like the fact that they are re-usable. Keep in mind that a launch pad and 'engine' are not included, which makes sense as then the package would be labelled as a dangerous good. But didn't think of that at the time of purchase.

Great kit, perfect for beginners
I love these Estes rocket kits and this is a perfect kit for a new rocket fan! I got this for my 11 yr old and with the help of his 16 yr old brother, construction was very fast and straightforward. Model Rocketry is a really fun hobby and this kit is a simple and fun way to get started. The pricing is perfect - it would be hard to get just the parts alone for this price, and it comes with instructions and suggestions for making it look nice so it's well worth the price.

Not worth the price
Made of cardboard and certainly not worth the price. Looked like something from the dollar store
