The Estes Classic Series is a line of rocket products that were introduced to the modeling world during the 1970s and 1980s. This period is fondly remembered by many as the Golden Age of Model Rocketry, where new exotic designs were appearing at an astonishing rate. Estes has gone back to the archives, pulled up old drawings and spec sheets and brought these fantastic flying machines back for old and new rocketeers to enjoy. Each kit has been reproduced and updated while still retaining the classic lines of the original. In terms of the kit quality, not much has changed since they were first seen on the market over 20 and 30 years ago. They all have Estes high quality body tubes, balsa nose cones, and lase cut balsa fins. While Estes cannot turn back the hands of time, you can once again enjoy many of these wonderful models and capture a little of your youth in the process. Assembly required. 18 inch Parachute Recovery Laser cut balsa Fins Self-stick Foil Decals Maximum Altitude 550 feet
