Building was not easy for 9year old so I had to help, but prepping for launch and launch itself was a breeze. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Successful at Cub Scout Launch *by E***N on April 24, 2016* We just finished a Cub Scout rocket event using these rockets for about half of the scouts, and another model for the rest. The silver and blue color makes it a bit difficult to track as others have said, but the bright orange streamer is easy to spot as long as it deploys. We instructed the scouts to only use two pieces of wadding so that the streamer ejects easily. We launched 15 of these, twice per scout for a total of 30 launches, and had no trouble recovering the rockets. They flew high and straight with 1/2 A motors. Assembly was easy. None of the scouts had difficulty putting them together. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Model rocket *by A***R on December 16, 2024* Easy to build ... Small model rocket great for first model. Had this rocket when I was a kid. Lots of fun with this rocket. ## Frequently Bought Together - Estes 886 Gnome Flying Model Rocket Kit - Estes 804 Firehawk Flying Model Rocket Kit - Estes 2274 Recovery Wadding --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/18539931-estes-886-gnome-rocket-building-kit-beginner-mini-flying-rocket](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/18539931-estes-886-gnome-rocket-building-kit-beginner-mini-flying-rocket) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
