Estes2056 U.S. Army Patriot Flying Model Rocket Kit

Children were super involved in building and firing this rocket

It's a nice rocket. Nothing special. If your familiar with rocket building than you get what you expect. I'm never quite sure what to make of the skill levels. This is a level 1 but you need to attach the fins yourself. I always thought level one you should have a base with the fins molded. Other than that, it's pretty simple and easy. I don't ever follow the paint/decal schemes. This one I actually gave to my kids to paint.

The Estes Patriot is an excellent kit for someone just starting out in scale model rockets. It's surprising large, easy to build and impressive on the launch pad....especially painted in the shown prototype colors.

A great build, if you’re into modeling and such. Pictured: Here it is on my desk with several other Amazon purchases.

J’ai pensé qu’il était déjà monté, mais non.

Got this kit after helping my son build his from a starter set. Easy build with good instructions. I liked his so much I got me 2 more kits for future builds. I even decided to build a large scale Level 1 version. If you like the looks then you won't be disappointed with the build or flying. Only bit of advice I can give is to replace the cheap Estes version of their shock cord with a good one from a hobby store or craft supply. Make it at least 3 times the body tube.
