Sorrry I'm new to this: Do I need to buy an engine and launch pad or is it included?

Yes, you must buy engines, launch pad and electronic ignition for the engines. The d size engines are perfect for the big Bertha but you must launch in an large open field and best on a day with no wind.

You need to purchase the rod, and the engine separately. I strongly recommend getting a model F engine. Aerotech F24-4T (Google it). The rocket will launch FAR. It will disappear from view, and take 7-8 minutes to come down.You can go to Lowest/Home Depot or your local hardware store, and pickup a 3/16 steel rod that is about 4' long. Stick it securely in the ground, and you can launch your rocket from there. The rod is only there to prop the rocket up straight, and to guide it during the first 1-2' of movement.

Yes it does. It flies great and opens up and parachutes to the ground as described, but you do need a launcher, ignitors, rocket engines & wadding.

You absolutely do need to supply the electronics for the kit version.If you are not sure what that means, you might want to consider the "RTR" or ready to run version, which includes motor, speed control, steering servo, radio, etc., and will be cheaper in the long run.

Yep it's ready to run. You need fuel and igniter. Very fun I love mine. Sorry I forgot you need batteries 4 AA for truck and 8 AA for controller. I would suggest thread lock and remove screws on bottom and put thread lock on them because they will come loose after a while. Have fun.

If you order this rocket with a kit, the kit comes with a launch pad and rod. If not, the rod you need is 3/16", and a launch pad. The engines are the large C's or the D's. I bought another rocket that came with a kit (launch pad and rod), that is the way to get started. BTW, this is my favorite rocket...enjoy!

No, you don't have it purchase anything separately; it comes with everything you need. Have fun!

Yes. It is an unassembled kit. You also have to provide your own electronics, motor, etc.

You will need an engine pack like this: Estes A8-3 Engine Pack (3-Each)The 3 engine pack will be good for 3 launches and also comes with plugs (to hold the engine in place) and ignitors to hook up to the launch controller. Lastly, you will need a few sheets of wadding to protect the parachute from getting scorched by the engine for each launch. My engine pack came with a few sheets.That pack is great for a first couple of launches as it will send up this model rocket around 200 feet. When you are feeling more adventurous, try a B4-4 pack or C6-5. Those will launch the rocket much higher.

No it doesn't come with a launcher. It's in a booster, therefor it does NOT come with a launcher.

Yes. All you will need is the starter kit that is like $50. It comes with everything you need to get her up and running. You will also need a quart of %20 nitro fule to break the engine in on your first run; that will cost bout $15 or $18 depending on what you get. Trust me it is totally worth it.

You need to buy a starter kit which includes the igniter. You will also need fuel (20%) mixture and 8 AA batteries.

Its in the item description "Glue, Estes engines and launch supplies, including a 3/16" (5 mm) Maxi Launch Rod, also required - sold separately" I would buy a starter kit that comes with a launch pad and all you would need is an engine. A lot cheaper that buying the items separately.

You need to purchase the kit that matches the rocket model. The kit contains the engine pack includes ignitors, plugs and recovery wadding.On the rocket box sometimes it will tell u all of the parts that u need to buy.

1) A launch pad with controller. Batteries for the controller. 2) Wadding to keep the parachute from burning. 3) Engines with ignitors. B4-4 for smaller areas in town, but it won't go very high. C6-5's for larger areas and good height. 4) Glue for the construction. Regular Elmer's is probably too weak, so I'd go with Wood Glue. 5) Paint - your choice, obviously. I painted mine in the colors of my favorite NFL team. That paint cost more than the rocket, though!

No, just the rocket. It's a kit because you have to put it together as it comes disassembled. If you don't want to spend a couple days putting it together (it takes that time because you have to wait for the glue to dry at each stage), look for the assembled rockets.
