Estes currently classifies the Taser Launch Set as a Beginner model. Its pre-coloured parts, moulded plastic fin assembly and self-stick decals reduce the amount of construction required compared with more advanced rocket kits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow high can the Estes Taser fly?\u003c\/strong\u003e Estes specifies a projected maximum altitude of 1,100ft \/ 335m. Actual altitude depends on the engine used, weather conditions, rocket condition and other flight variables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich engines can be used with the Estes Taser?\u003c\/strong\u003e Estes recommends A8-3, B4-4, B6-4, B6-6, C6-5 and C6-7 engines. Using a lower-powered recommended engine for initial flights can make the rocket easier to observe and recover while gaining experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre rocket engines included with the Estes Taser Launch Set?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. Model rocket engines are consumable items and are sold separately. A compatible engine, starter and recovery wadding are required for each launch as applicable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Estes Taser Launch Set include a launch pad and controller?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The set includes an Estes Porta-Pad II launch pad and Electron Beam launch controller. Four AA alkaline batteries for the controller are required separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Estes Taser require assembly?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The Taser is a beginner assembly-required rocket. Construction involves joining the supplied rocket components, installing the recovery system and applying the self-stick decals using the appropriate tools and adhesives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the Estes Taser return after launch?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Taser uses an included 12-inch \/ 30.5cm parachute recovery system. The parachute deploys after the engine's ejection phase to slow the rocket for recovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the Estes Taser be launched more than once?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The rocket, launch pad and controller are reusable when maintained correctly. A new suitable engine, starter and recovery wadding are required as applicable for subsequent flights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShould a beginner start with the most powerful C engine?\u003c\/strong\u003e A lower-powered recommended engine can be a practical choice for an initial flight because the Taser is a lightweight rocket capable of considerable altitude. OZRC recommends choosing a suitable approved flying area and following the Estes instructions and applicable model rocketry safety requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eImportant Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel rocket engines, starters, recovery wadding and four AA controller batteries are not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilding tools, adhesives and construction supplies are sold separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEstes recommends this product for ages 10 and older with adult supervision for users under 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse only suitable recommended model rocket engines and follow the Estes operating and safety instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaunch only from a suitable open area and comply with applicable local model rocketry rules and restrictions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum altitude is a projected performance figure and is not guaranteed on every flight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OZRC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53054203625784,"sku":"EST-1491X","price":89.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0738\/2849\/9768\/files\/Estes_Taser_Beginner_Model_Rocket_Launch_Set_1100ft_EST-1491X_1.png?v=1790647203","url":"https:\/\/ozrc.com.au\/products\/estes-taser-beginner-model-rocket-launch-set-1100ft-est-1491x","provider":"OZRC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
