Estes Model Rockets Athena, Brown/a

A solid choice for a beginner's rocket! Easy assembly with just threading the parachute cords through the nose cone is a big plus for first-time rocketeers. The quality and boxed packaging for reduced shipping damage add to its appeal, making it a great value. Stick with a smaller motor to avoid needing a huge field for recovery—those C6 motors can really send it soaring!

The price was great on this. Easy to use with directions, great size, and quality. My son is 10 and did really well with some adult supervision of course. He loved setting this rocket off!

Ready to go out of the box. Of course you will need launch system and engines, but this was a nice backup when the glue failed on the rocket that my son and I made.

I like this rocket because there is no assembly required. Good medium sized rocket. Shot it off 6x with my son. Worked great, although the metal clip that holds the engine in came off on the 2nd flight...but isn't really needed unless you want the used engine back to avoid littering.

Best rocket we have bought to date! Love that it comes preassembled. We have used it several times and it is still going strong.

Simplest rocket ever. Works amazing. If your new and wanna be shooting in a few mins this is your rocket ! Literally take it outta package snap it together and your shooting it off mins later. Super nice rocket. Can be shot again and again.

This is great but be aware that it is *fully assembled*! I did not realize this when I purchased it. I enjoy building them (even if they're plastic molded wings) so I was a bit disappointed that this arrived literally ready to fly, stickers and all.

Not like the old Estes Rockets very poorly made
