Estes Double Ringer Flying Model Rocket Kit | Easy to Build Beginner Rocket | Fun Educational Activity | Cool Science for Kids

I really like this rocket. I bought it to show off to cub scouts and it worked. The two gliders glide really well...too well maybe. If you angle it against the wind, be careful, you will find that it will probably roll over into more of a plane/glider. I had this happen several times. First launch I used the recommended first launch engine...that was really underpowered and caused it to go up and right back down. It stovepiped into the ground but was durable enough to not be damaged.

"Easy to Build Beginner Rocket" and "Build and launch your own rocket" headline and begin the description of this rocket. I thought "fantastic." We buy it. We need a tiny amount of plastic cement to assemble it. Could have been included, but ok, order it and wait. We get the cement. We get 3/4 of the way through assembly - and realize this needs a host of other items to complete building it and to actually launch it! This is simply one component - and it requires buying launch pad, launch controller, recovery wadding, starters (with engines), plugs (with engines)... If this is a beginner item, I didn't anticipate needing an entire array of other items...nor was that made clear.

would not pick this one

So as you can see in the video, the rocket breaks apart
