Estes Rockets Gryphon Boost Glider Rocket Kit - Intermediate

Meeting all expectations set by its legendary name, theGryphon model glider kit will be the "King of the Air". The Gryphonitself can soar to the height of 700 feet on an A10-3T engine. Upon reachingapogee, a colorful streamer acts as a tracking and recovery device to showwhere the rocket will land. During that time, the Gryphon's stealthy glidermoves magically across the sky to serve as a protector to everything below andwill also gracefully return to earth to be readied for another flight.

Made from lightweight paper tubing and laser-cut balsa, theGryphon is a great first step above a beginner rocket. In about two hours, pluspainting time, rocketeers will build a rocket that will garner attention inboth the air and when on display.
