Our Grandson will be 6 years old. His school evaluation is very intelligent , beyond his age. It is a birthday gift for him.

beginner, plastic finned durable. fully assembled, just attach the parachute, I cut 5" out of center of chute so It doesn't drift to far. Flies good with "B" engines too. ( about 5-600 ft )

Quite simple to operate; you will also need a launch pad, engines, and a remote igniter.

The rockets are reusable. They are made out of foam, kind if like those noodles you use at the pool. They're lightweight and they really fly into the air. It's a lot of fun.

It is your choice on what stage engine you want depending on the height allowed on the rocket. I used C-Engines.

It takes a little practice, but my 7 and 6 year old love it. You need a second person to launch it , but then the controls are easy. Be aware that is seems cheap when ypu first open it, but it is sturdy. If it were heavier it wouldn't be so easy to maneuver.

It is rated at 50 MPH at highest setting ! It is fast enough for practice !

Great begginer r/c. Quick. Keep it away from curbs at full speed. Mine exploded.

The D size rocket engine from Estes is my favorite. The C works well too, but the rockets does not go up as far; that's what I use on breezey days so I d't loose my rocket!

If you are low on patience, do not attention this build. It is for advanced model freaks. I believe it is level 3. Make sure you have the time and the right tools before you tackle this one if you want a project you can be proud of.

This is an extremely good option for a beginner. You hand launch. It can fly very slowly and it's tougher than it looks.

I bought this rocket for my brother last year for Christmas. We put it together and it was a lot of fun. I can tell you that it was one of the coolest rockets that we have ever launched. It flies low and slow like it is supposed to and when all of the parachutes opened it is awesome.

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!

Unless you have a very large room, I wouldn't use this indoors. The rocket does fly pretty high.

I started with the b6-4 and had no problems. My guess is they say to start small so you can get used to the rocket if you have not launched them before. They do have quite a bit of power and might go higher than most people would expect of not familiar with them.

Nothing on the packaging gives details on the oxidizing agent. Having done model rockets in the past, I can't answer how they would react. Wish I could help more.

I really don't know. I bought this to give to my grandson. I haven't seen him use it. All I know is he and his younger twin brothers loved it. They shot out fine and went a fair distance from what they said.

I bought the jr. and super. The launchers were pretty much the same, the difference was in the rockets. The jr. did not launch as high as the super because the jr was fatter than the supper, but the launchers were equal.

I don't think a five year old would have the motor skills to fly this. This is probably not a good toy for anyone under the age of 8-10.
