Product Description

The Big Daddy is a real head-turner at the launch field! From the Skill Level 2 Series, not only is it a classic but it has been redesigned to handle our super powerful E engines and can reach a cloud topping 900 feet.

Rocketeers aged 18 and up can enjoy this high-powered kit, with adult supervision for those under 18.



The biggest little rocket around, at just under 20 inches tall with a 3 inch waist, this high powered rocket is built to handle E engine power!

3, 2, 1, Lift Off!
BIG is better! Well in most things - big is better. Standing just under 20 inches tall and having a Big Daddy waist size of 3 inches, this high powered bullet is built to handle all the power you can stuff into the motor tube. The Estes rocket engineers have given the Big Daddy a contemporary new look and the biggest blow molded nose cones in the hobby. Whether launching on Estes E, C11 or D engines, this extreme rocket is returned safely on a colorful 24 inch preassembled parachute. Adding to your growing fleet of Rockets?

Blast Off to Learning Fun
In addition to the excitement and entertainment it provides, rocketry also has significant educational value. Model rockets transform kids into amateur rocket scientists, encouraging them to think about how the rockets work. Rocket building teaches kids the basics of propulsion, flight, and aerodynamics, and can help foster an early interest in science and engineering. Skill Level 2 is the first tier of more advanced kits that require beginner skills in model rocket construction, finishing and painting. Quality Estes body tubes, laser cut wood fins, molded plastic nose cone and waterslide decals make experience necessary to build this Skill Level 2 kit but the end result is worth the effort.

Mission Control
The Big Daddy requires a Porta-Pad E and E Launch Controller as well as Estes engines for the launch (not included). Estes C11-3, D12-3, D12-5 or E9-6 engines are recommended for all missions. Unless otherwise specified, all models require assembly. Tools, construction and finishing supplies sold separately. In order to launch, a launch system, model rocket engines, igniters, recovery wadding and four 'AA' alkaline batteries are required – sold separately unless otherwise specified. Read all instructions before beginning. Make sure you have all parts and supplies required. Test fit all parts before applying glue. Sand as necessary for precision assembly. Product color and shape may vary. When launching, stand back as far as the launch controller cord will allow (15 feet). Rocketry is not intended for indoor use. Choose a large field (500 feet), free of dry weeds and brown grass. Launch only with little or no wind and good visibility.

What's In The Box?
Estes body tubes, laser cut wood fins, molded plastic nose cone, waterslide decals, 24 inch preassembled parachute and instructions.



You will get hours of building fun with the rocket construction, finishing and painting needed to complete this impressive Skill Level 2 kit.

From the Manufacturer

BIG is better. Well in most things – big is better. This Big Daddy is a real head-turner at the launch field. It’s been redesigned to handle our super powerful E engines so it will fly over twice as high as it used to. Using Estes E engines, this highly streamlined rocket can reach a cloud topping 900 ' (274 m). If you prefer to keep it suborbital, it will also fly on extremely well on C11 engines or D engines. Either way, this extreme rocket is returned safely on a huge 24 " (61 cm) preassembled parachute. Standing just under 20 " (51 cm) tall and having a Bid Daddy waist size of 3 " (76.22 mm), the Estes rocket engineers have given the Big Daddy a contemporary new look. The revised Skill Level 2 kit features laser cut balsa fins, an oversized slotted body tube for precision fin alignment and one of the biggest blow molded nose cones in the hobby. This high powered bullet is built to handle all the power you can stuff into the motor tube. Experience in model building and finishing is necessary to build this big guy, but the end result is worth the effort.

E engine launches require the use of an Estes Porta-Pad E Launch Pad and E Launch Controller – sold separately. Recommended for ages 18 and up with adult supervision for those under 18.

Super Low Quality/Unacceptable QC
Color: Black, Size: Wheel-6 Panel
I spent probably about an hour putting it together, only to take it right back apart and pack it up to return. The dimples for half the poles were on the wrong side (double and triple checked to make sure they couldn't be spun around. The threaded ends for the wheels were freely spinning on all but 2 wheels, making it impossible to actually tighten them fully. Once it was all put together, the screens could not be folded up to neatly put it aside when not in use. All in all, this was shamefully low quality for the money spent.

Not as tall as anticipated
Color: Black, Size: Wheel-6 Panel
Definitely not 6 feet tall, more like 5 1/2. Very sturdy and the fabric is thick. Works well for what we're using it for.
