Estes Phantom Blue, Multi

Heel interessant, het spijtige ervan is dat je de brandstof nergens vind.

Built but haven't flown yet.

Bought this a couple years back almost as a joke for my son's birthday as he was getting ready to start A-levels and loved rockets. I remembered shooting these off as a kid. Here we are two years later and my son is ready to start an integrated BSc/MSc in aerospace engineering. In no way am I implying that purchasing this rocket will lead to an advanced engineering degree, but it IS a heckuva lot of FUN! Who doesn't love rockets? It was easy to build, great value for money, and Estes has maintained high quality model rockets for decades. Great for daughters and sons alike. And the kid in you. Do it.

Bought it in the same purchase as another rocket (the Taser), so we got to do a comparison. The Phantom Blue was the clear winner. Assembly was easier, as the fins guide into slots that leave no gaps (the Taser did) so they did not move when we launched it. A note in the instructions prompted us to put some tape inside the nosecone to make it snug, which was a good suggestion, and the retention strap came already fastened to the fuselage (on the Taser we had to glue it in). The Phantom has flown straight and true on every launch, with perfect parachute deployment every time as well. Can't wait to use a more powerful engine.

Amusement garanti!
