Brief
One of several ARF (Almost Ready to Fly) kits offered by Estes, the Firestorm is a great rocket for beginners as well as those looking for a quick-building craft to use at small fields. Its fins are reminiscent of a Nike sounding rocket, giving it a sturdy and utilitarian look. It can also be fitted with a booster (sold separately) to make it two-stage capable.
Components
The kit came pre-colored and with decals already on, so no finishing is required. The components are as follows:
- 1 BT-60 body tube with a pre-attached fin can/engine mount section
- 4 fins
- 1 pre-attached shock cord
- 1 NC-60 ogive nosecone
- 1 engine cap
- 1 12" parachute
