We have broken up a bulk pack of this popular kit and are making them available at a reduced price. Everything is the same as the retail kit except there is no fancy header card in the package.

Based on rumored 1950s secret project to counter the “flying saucer threat.” The Estes Star Hopper is a no-glue, no-paint Beginner-Level kit that you can build and launch up to 400 feet all in the same day. Features detail-molded plastic parts, atomic-age styling, and a 18-inch streamer for recovery.

Prep the Estes Star Hopper with a recommend Estes engine (not included) and get ready for fantastic flights up to 400 feet – great for demonstrations and small field flights. Watch at apogee as the rocket ejects a 18-inch streamer to slow its fall and help you track it to the ground. With the twist-on engine retainer for fast engine loading, and a relatively wide body tube for easy ejection wadding and streamer packing, you’ll have your rocket ready to launch in no time! While the real Star Hopper may only be a myth, the Estes Star Hopper is real and ready to fly today!
