My Boys Really Love to Fly This Rocket
And I do too. It is one of the more difficult models to build, due to the body shrouds and such, but with a little patience and skill, it can be done. It is fun to fly, since it is rather heavy, making for a slow lift-off, and a flight that is sufficiently high, but not out of sight. The big parachute makes for a nice recovery. Just make sure you launch it in near still conditions, since it will drift a bit.

My boys are proud of this rocket, and they enjoy learning about the real SR-71. They like to brag about the rocket as well, even though they didn't have a hand in building it.

Overall, this is a great looking rocket, and fun to fly.

Great Rocket Version Replica Of The Fastest Jet
I built this rocket when I was a kid. I learned how to build rockets in the 5th grade. I recently purchased it and flew it a bunch of times, unfortunately, like many rockets, it got away with the C6-5 engine. I'm waiting for another one I recently ordered and I probably won't fly it. This is my second favorite Estes Rocket after my Orbital Transport. I wish someone would develop a model rocket based on the Valkyrie another cool jet from the past. If in NYC they have the real one purched on the deck of the USS Intrepid Museum on the West Side.
