HeliCat is a good looking rocket with a trick up its sleeve. Launched in the conventional way, the surprise comes when, at apogee, HeliCat deploys a 30.5cm parachute for the booster section, whilst the nose cone helicopters back to earth separately - incredible! Unless otherwise specified, all models require assembly.
In just a few minutes you will have this rocket ready for the launch pad! All you need is glue and plastic cement. No paint is necessary which means more time for fun! Powered by Estes standard rocket motors, this quick-build E2X (Easy to Assemble) series rocket reaches heights of over 500 feet!
LAUNCH SYSTEM includes Astron II Launch Controller and Astron II Launch Pad.
Note: The Launch Controller requires 4 x AA batteries (not included). In order to launch a launch system, model rocket engines, igniters, battery and recovery wadding are required - sold separately - unless otherwise specified.

Does the rocket come with engines, wadding and igniters
Asked by Eashan on 23rd February 2017
This is a launch set, so comes with launch pad, etc. You do however still require motors, wadding and igniters.
We list a handy combo pack on this item which includes these items.
