Set offers two unique launching experiences. The aptly-named Amazon is the
bigger of the two rockets: it towers at almost three feet tall and features a
fearsome tiger-stripe decal. When flown with a standard Estes engine, the
Amazon can soar to heights of 600 feet. The Crossfire is a smaller craft,
standing just a little over 15 inches tall. In spite of its size, this little
rocket can blast off to seriously impressive altitudes. Thanks to its
aerodynamic fins and nose cone, the Crossfire can reach cloud-bursting heights
of 1,150 feet. Both rockets are outfitted with colorful, preassembled
parachutes, which ensure they can float gently back to Earth for another
flight. An Introduction to Rocket BuildingThe Tandem-X Launch offers just the
right amount of challenge for novice rocket builders. The Amazon is an E2X
(easy-to-assemble) rocket, and requires no paint or special tools for
assembly. It can be built in less than an hour: simply glue the plastic fins
to the tube, install the engine, and attach the parachute. Finish the rocket
off with a few self-stick decals, and you’re ready to launch. Once builders
have mastered the basics, they can move on to the more advanced Skill Level 1
Crossfire. With its plastic nose cone and laser-cut balsa fins, the Crossfire
requires a little more finesse. Assembling the rocket can take an entire
afternoon, but it’s a rewarding and educational process. Builders will learn
several beginner-level rocket techniques, such as painting and sanding. Estes
has also included an illustrated, step-by-step instruction guide to help keep
the assembly fun, smooth, and frustration-free. Educational FunIn addition to
the thrills it provides, the Tandem-X also has significant educational value.
The set transforms 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. Even failed launches can turn into a learning
experience. Requires an Estes EngineBoth rockets require a specialized Estes
engine to launch. For the Amazon, Estes recommends a B4-2 engine for your
first flight. The rocket is also compatible with other Estes engines,
including the B4-4, B6-2, B6-4, C6-3, and C6-5. For the Crossfire, Estes
recommends the A8-3 for first flight, and the B4-4, B6-4, C6-5, and C6-7 for
more advanced launching. What’s in the BoxEstes 1469 Tandem-X Launch Set with
