Estes 1441 Journey Launch Set Beginner Model Kit for Ages 10+ Includes Complete Launch Set Soars Up to 1,100 ft.

Purchased through the Estes store. The launch pad and igniter work great, the rocket was super easy to put together. This is exactly the starter kit I was looking for. Some things to note: This kit does not come with rocket engines or wadding. The smaller 1/8" launch rod is included with the launch kit. It doesn't come with a storage/transport box like back in the day.

Very easy to put together. Best first rocket model kit for kids. Very solid rocket

Good Estes beginner set; expensive hobby.

This was fun putting together and watching the faces of both the kids and adults. Kids were amazed at how high it went. Would recommend.

Good basic launch stand. Does what you want, stores pretty well.

Pros:Simple build for tween rocketeers (ages 10-12).Comes with all necessary components, except batteries for launching.Does not go too high for first-time rocketeers (meaning if their aim is off a bit, it won't end up a mile a way).Instructions are clear, and all parts fit per instructions.Great value for the price! (less than $25).Cons:Launcher requires fully charged alkaline batteries to work well, rechargeables just don't cut it.You will likely have to buy extra igniters, since no model rocket manufacturers make good ones anymore.Problems with igniters:a. may burn up but not ignite the engine,b. may not work at all in humid weather,c. may not burn with partially used alkaline batteries,d. may not burn at all with rechargeables.Misc:Two 11-year-olds built/assembled this rocket in one evening. Launched successfully six times on a subsequent evening.Seriously, what do you want for a sub-25 dollar kit?

Check with hobby store to purchase correct engines

Returned. Came missing numerous parts: nose cone, support pole, 2 support legs, blast pad.
