Description
From our beginner line of model rockets, the Firehawk can reach heights of over 500 feet on powerful Estes mini-engines. Comes with all pre-colored parts so no painting is required.
The Firehawk will set the skies ablaze! This mini engine powered dynamo is sure to fire your imagination as it blasts toward the clouds on its way to extreme launch heights of over 550 feet. The streamlined shaped Firehawk is hard to miss on the pad or in the sky with its bright red, precolored plastic fins and nose cone.
This rocket is one of our beginner level kits that can be ready to fly in about an hour. The plastic engine mount and easy to install fins are bright red and easily attach to the precolored silver body tube for quick assembly in less than 30 minutes. To complete the Firehawk, we’ve also included a colorful, self-stick decal set that enhances the looks of this mini missile. After a screaming, high altitude flight, the rocket returns gently on a colorful 12 inch preassembled parachute. This rocket is a terrific model rocket and is ideal for scout, club or school activities.
Don’t wait, get a bird of your own…the Firehawk from Estes!
