Big value and even bigger fun! Estes 1469 Tandem-X Rocket Launch Set includes the impressive, easy-to-assemble Amazon rocket and the high-performance Crossfire ISX rocket. The Amazon builds quick with pre-colored plastic parts and self-stick graphics. The Crossfire ISX is a perfect next-step to an Intermediate level model with laser cut wood fins and self-stick decals.

  • Over 29 in. tall, the Amazon rocket is the giant amongst all Estes rockets in launch sets
  • Over 15 in. tall, the second rocket Crossfire ISX is of average size.

Two is better than one with this Tandem-X Launch Set! This duo features two extreme, high-performance rockets and a powerful beast of a launch system. 

Designed with plastic fins, the beginner rocket Amazon stands at 30 inches tall and can be built in an hour. Launching from an Estes standard model 18 mm rocket engine C6-5, this giant can reach heights over 600 ft.

Crossfire ISX, on the other hand, is an Intermediate-level rocket that features a totally streamlined shape with aerodynamic fins and nose cone. At 15.6 inches tall and launched with Estes 18mm rocket engine C6-7, the Crossfire ISX reaches cloud busting heights of 1,150 feet. A 12-inch recovery parachute glides gently in mid-air and returns the Crossfire back to earth to launch again and again.

Both bullets of this Estes Tandem-X Launch Set take off from the sturdy Porta-Pad II Launch Pad by push button command from the Electron Beam controller.

Requirements for this Ready-To-Fly (RTF) set (sold separately) include:

  • Building Tools and Construction Materials
  • Finishing Supplies
  • Estes A, B or C engines
  • Batteries for Launch Controller

Learn the basics of crafting soaring models with Tandem-X Launch Set and blast these flying objects to amazing heights with Estes model number 1469! One of our most popular kits for beginners!

Justin has been nothing but helpful and professional in my requests for these Boeing Defense requirements. He has been able to answer my questions and concerns quickly, and helped in securing the order that I may have made with another supplier had be not been the value-add that he is to your company. I hope his merit raise this FY was "exceeds expectations".

..I contacted Geyer via email. I had an email back within minutes!.. A back and forth via email sometimes takes days with other companies and customer service doesn’t happen like this very often. When it does, it’s much appreciated. Brett at Geyer was very polite and accommodating!

John C.

The customer service rep went as far as to reach out to the manufacturer of a product to answer my question, and then provided pictures. She really went above and beyond and answered the question thoroughly and gave me exactly the information I was looking for. This entire process was also extremely fast.

Robert C.

I called to ask how to submit a Tax Exempt Certificate for my library and spoke to a real person, no automation or asking me to press a number. He was friendly, helpful and got our Tax Exempt status established immediately.

Mischelle F.

...I don't think I've ever experienced that level of customer service before, and taking it into consideration along with the quality of their products, I would absolutely recommend Geyer to fellow teachers.
