Estes Industries is proud to announce the addition of four new Ready to Fly rockets to its product line for 1999.

These fully assembled and ready to fly rockets come complete with assembled parachutes and are attractively displayed in a sealed blister with a full color, dynamic package design.

Three of these four new rockets fly on Estes mini engines. Each rocket is completely assembled, and is decorated with eye-catching graphics.

The first rocket is the Moondog™. Standing over 9" (22.9 cm) high, this retro-futuristic streamliner is sure to be a high flying favorite. It recovers with an assembled 12" (30 cm) parachute, and is mini engine powered.

The Mini Marz Lander™ is next in the arsenal. The Mini Marz Lander™ recalls the classic Estes Mars Lander design, with the materials and assembly updated for the next millennium. The Mini Marz Lander™ rockets into the sky, then gently returns to earth using an assembled 12" (30 cm) parachute. The spring-loaded landing legs absorb the shock of touchdown. It's great fun to fly!

Third in line is the Jinx™. This attractive sport rocket is over 9" (22.9 cm) long and has a sleek, fast design, built for altitude. Attach the assembled 12" (30 cm) parachute and you can be out flying in minutes! Over 200 feet (61 m) in altitude is possible with Jinx™ on mini engine power!

The Snitch™ is a spectacular flying saucer! The Snitch roars into the air under B6-0 or C6-0 power, then turns over for a safe, recovery on shock absorbing landing struts.

All these Ready to Fly rockets will be available in December, 1998. So, get ready to fly with these new great looking and high flying Estes model rockets!
