Rocket Starship !! By karlawmcdonald on Mar 03, 2008 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

We purchased this ready to fly starter set at Hobby Lobby one night. Each time we went to this store my husband and two sons would navigate to the model cars, rockets and trains. They finally broke down and purchased one. It is a very simple and basic ready to fly set. It can fly up to 600 feet into the air, but if you are standing there when it takes off it seems much further than any 600 feet! It will make any adult feel like a child again, and you will love it, I know I did! The one we got is 18 inches tall, it is fully assembled and painted. It also comes with two rocket engines, you can purchase more and will want to ahead of time. You add 4 "AA" batteries, attach the legs on the launch pad and are ready to fly in minutes. It has a push button launch controller, it also has a safety cap and bright red streamer so there are no accidents. I am not sure who enjoyed this the most, us or our sons. It is perfect for any age to watch over and over again, waiting for it to return and repacking the parachute is just as fun as the launch. I suggest this for everyone!
