Details

Looking for a classic Estes rocket kit with a modern twist? Look no further than the Tazz Estes rocket! This kit has been re-imagined with a specially designed engine mount featuring two molded tabs that keep the wing elevators in the flat position during boost for smooth flights, and then move them into the full "up" position at apogee for thrilling spins on the way down.

With balsa wings and alignment tabs that fit into pre-cut slots, aligning the wings is a breeze during assembly and after the glue dries, providing a strong wing-to-tube glue joint. Plus, the molded plastic retainers make installing and replacing the elevator actuator rubber bands a breeze.

You'll have a blast watching the Tazz Estes rocket spin wildly on its way down, with countless spins to count. Get ready for lots of fun flights with this classic Estes kit re-imagined!

  • SKILL LEVEL: With moderate building and finishing skills, the Tazz is perfect for this Advanced level rocket.
  • RECOMMENDED ENGINES: A8-3, B6-2, B6-4, C5-3, C6-3
  • PROJECTED ALTITUDE: 700 ft. (213 m) on a C6-3

A classic Estes kit re-imagined.

The specially designed engine mount has two molded tabs. These tabs hold the wing elevators in the flat position during boost for nice straight-up flights. Then at apogee, the ejection charge kicks the engine mount out and “snap”, the two elevators move into the full “up” position and TAZZ Estes rocket spins wildly on the way down!

Larger than the 1960's "Gyroc" kit, this rocket model has balsa wings with alignment tabs that fit into pre-cut slots. This makes aligning the wings much easier during assembly and after the glue is dry. Moreover, you also get a strong wing-to-tube glue joint.

The clever molded plastic retainers make installing and replacing the elevator actuator rubber bands very easy.

You can’t count the number of spins this Tazz Estes rocket will make on the way down. What you can do is counting on it for lots of fun flights!

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.

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.

...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.
