does this rocket require you to buy a launcher

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.

No, there are a few kits that do like "taser" or you can buy the launcher seperately.

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.

I don't know. I have not replaced any of the darts that came with the launcher.

I think 3 come with the actual blaster, but I know from experience that those will disappear quite quickly - usually ending up on a roof! I generally buy an extra set of 4-5 rockets to go with it. The blaster holds up really well to little feet - and the kids think its awesome!

You will need to purchase the rocket engines. They are sold in packages of three and come complete with wadding and igniters. Estes recommends B4-2 for the 1st flight of the Amazon (larger rocket) and B4-4, B6-2, C6-3 and C6-5 are also compatible. The Crossfire (smaller rocket) will accept A8-3 (first flight), B4-4, C6-5 and C6-7. You will also need to purchase both plastic model cement and wood glue (white school glue okay) for assembly. Lastly you will need to purchase a small can of spray primer, a small can of white spray paint and a can of clear spray paint (optional) to finish the smaller rocket as it is constructed from paper tube and balsa wood with a plastic nose cone. The larger rocket is mostly plastic, already finished and just requires stickers to be placed after assembly. The only tools required to assemble either rocket are an exacto knife, a small piece of fine sandpaper and scissors. The larger rocket is much easier to assemble and I would recommend tackling that one first. It also accepts many of the same engine sizes as the smaller one so you may get by with purchasing just a couple of sizes. Engines are selected by letter with A being the weakest and D being the most powerful. The first number after the letter type represents how many seconds the "burn" is and the last number represents the delay before deploying the parachute. Choose accordingly and start with the lower powered engines first to properly test your rocket and confirm your launch location is big enough. Trees, wind, houses and fenced in yards with dogs can be potential setbacks. My son and I had to contend with all of these our first launch despite utilizing a local park with six or seven acres of open area. Hope this helps.

I am not sure on launchers but they have some type of track you can use them on for kids that are not interested in using them with the go app. I watched a youtube video that gave a review on the product. He did a demonstration on the other uses. Hope that helps point you in the right direction to get your answers. I just looked it up on youtube and there is a review of the launcher with telepods. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exJQUaPUdlE

Yeah it includes everything you need. Just follow the instructions :) You'll download the game launcher then punch in your activation key and then that will download the game and you'll be good to go. Expect a long download about 12-14fb in total.

Nope. In fact, with very rare exceptions, no rocket kit comes packaged with engines.

It comes with part of a launcher. It has a base, a plug for the bottle, plastic tube, and adapters. You have to supply the bicycle pump. The pump connects to the end of the tube.

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.

The rocket is completely reusable - the only one I have ever lost came down in a 60' Oak tree and was lost that way. The ENGINES and wadding have to be replaced between each flight. You can buy packages of three engines with sufficient igniters and wadding for three flights separately. They can be ordered on Amazon - we usually get ours at Target or Wal-Mart simply for convenience. These are real solid fuel rocket engines - these rockets do not uses pumped pressurized water or air like some other systems for propulsion.

Yes it does. But Ibought this gun about three years ago and it was a bad purchase. It miss fired. The hop up didn't work. And it all around just wasn't a good gun because of the problems. I would take your money else where if Iwere u. 2/5

Yes and no, it comes with everything you need but a "Presta valve" compatible pump, but it can't be launched without the pump.

They tell you you need - Estes Launch Pad and Controller - sold separately. The Controller requires 4 AA batteries and Estes launch supplies including engines, wadding, igniters, igniter plugs - sold separately. We use both B and C engines, but we launch the rockets in a field. We make our wading paper with paper towels and borax. You can search online for recipe. It's pretty simple.

Yes. I bought this for my 15 y/o son. He is an avid rocket enthusiast and asked for a plane that could fly. It did take a little time and focus to build, but it came with everything he needed to fly. He followed the instructions to a T. Don't rush through and you'll be very happy. It is a great plane for his level of flying. Not beginner, but not a "professional" armature.

Yes, it does. We have been using the ORKA balls in our launcher for almost 2 years.
